Modern Mountain Living Done Right: Explore the Ultimate Contemporary Mountain Home
This custom designed home from Lucy Small of State and Season Home Design and Supply hit on a lot of firsts for the area: among the first to use Scandinavian black exteriors, first and only to use clear cedar, among the first to homestead on 30 acres and one of the first to bring new luxury materials to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Set just 10 minutes from the bustle of popular Blue Ridge, the Blue Mountain Resort House isn’t just architecturally interesting, it also comes with private land for adventuring including creeks, ponds, hiking trails, ATV trails and US Forest Service frontage. The interior is meant to be peaceful, serene, functional and always looking out toward the mountains.

“I want to challenge the traditional mountain house and make it bright inside. Using natural materials local to the area was my area of bringing the outside in, and keeping most heavy traditional materials out.”
Modern mountain homes stand out by weaving the organic feel of nature into every corner. This property is no exception, featuring locally sourced stone accents, reclaimed wood beams, and even polished concrete that works as a sleek yet earthy foundation for the design.
The interior feels like a natural extension of the landscape. The warmth of the wood contrasts beautifully with cool, neutral-toned finishes—a harmonious mix that’s both relaxing and luxurious.
Gone are the days of compartmentalized spaces. This home embraces the modern trend of open-concept design, which creates an airy flow between the kitchen, dining area, and living room.
When you think of a dream mountain home, uninterrupted views are essential. This expertly crafted home uses floor-to-ceiling windows to bring the outdoors inside. From sunrise to sunset, every room is bathed in natural light and framed by striking mountain vistas.
With almost 30 acres and no restrictions, this home was always going to be a place for extended family and guests. To that end, a guest cottage in a similar style of the main house was built to allow for privacy and comfort of longer term guests. Nestled further into the woods and at mountain-level, this guest cottage boasts curious deer who pop in for breakfast!
It all starts with a plan.
A new build doesn’t get designed in a day. The process is iterative over several months to develop the personality of a home. Lucy calls it the bumpers. “When you have bumpers around what goes into a home and what doesn’t, a lot of choices become easier,” she says. “You can make better choices faster and grow the design more cohesively. Your bumpers can be as wide or as narrow as you like, houses can be very uniform or very eclectic, but they style, or what those bumpers are, evolves over time.”
