Get ready to experience North Carolina like never before at this exquisite estate surrounded by lush foliage and rolling hills. As soon as you arrive, you will drive into the gated, manicured entrance see the eagle on top for which the home is named. As you make your way under the timber-framed porte-cochere and pass the koi water feature at the doorway, you will already be slipping into a fairytale. The front door opens to a large living room featuring plush furnishings, eclectic decor, a bar perfect for entertaining, a gas fireplace to cozy up beside, and access to the patio which looks out to breathtaking mountain views. There will be no need to fret about mealtimes, as two kitchens and dining tables await to make preparing and enjoying meals together a breeze. The main kitchen on the upper level boasts a large pantry, double ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. This level also features two bedrooms including the first primary suite with a gas fireplace, a flatscreen TV, a luxurious jacuzzi tub, and a covered veranda with mountain views!
The lower level will be the hub for entertaining those who want to indulge in a bit of friendly competition, as the den features a gas log fireplace, a pool table, and an open layout that leads seamlessly to the home office area, dining area, and second full kitchen. The unique wall of glass at the front of the home will allow plenty of natural light to flood into this lower level, especially if you are taking advantage of the desk and high-speed WiFI for some remote work. This level is home to three more bedrooms when it is time to get a bit of shuteye.
If you really want some peace and quiet, an updated studio suite is is accessible by a garage staircase off the game room. The studio offers a fantastic full bathroom, plush bedding, a small dining area, a Keurig for that morning cup of coffee, and a private balcony overlooking the property.
Best of all, the outdoor spaces available to you will complete this unforgettable escape. The covered veranda is furnished with comfortable seating and a propane fire pit, so summer evenings will be best spent outside soaking up the fresh air. Walk to the detached deck and you can soak in bliss with loved ones in the private hot tub.

A unique place. A small high-end, old money estate feel. Very cool. Artwork everywhere. Pause and look at each piece!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
This home is a fortress! We arrived on Thursday the day hurricane helene was coming to Waynesville. We arrived, the house was clean and beautiful. Friday morning we woke up and both roadways down the mountain were washed out, the garage flooded from a support wall breaking due to water flooding down the mountain. We lost power around 10am Friday but the generator kicked on almost instantly which was great. We were able to conserve our power to only cooking. We hung out on the beautiful back porch. The home could use more shovels and supplies incase of an emergency. On Sunday we were forced to evacuate the home. We had to help build a road to get our vehicles off the mountain. The neighbors on the mountain are absolutely wonderful and we all worked together to get us off the mountain. Waiting to see if Vacasa is going to give us a refund for forcing us to leave. The home has comfortable beds, great amenities and a fabulous property.

Overall the house is a great place to spend a week! We spent many mornings and evenings on the back porch (though closer to sunset since it gets pretty warm while the sun is above the horizon but it's gorgeous once the sun sets and the fireflies come out). There's tons of room in the house, including a nice studio above the garage and amenities like the billiard table and tennis court (bonus - there's a basketball hoop).
If you do a lot of cooking, bring your favorite knives and maybe a pan or two. The kitchen is stocked but the knives and pans are worn. We also had an issue with the refrigerator on the main floor not keeping a cold temperature, but we were able to use the one in the basement.
Someone else mentioned the musty smell in the apartment above the garage. That smell is likely sewer gas from the shower, and we had to keep the bathroom door closed to prevent it from spreading to the rest of the room.
With a little TLC this place could really shine but even with the issues above, it's still an amazing house and we'd recommend it.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
The home was beautiful nd spacious. All items needed were provided, down to hand soaps. Beds were comfortable. We did have several issues arise while there. I will list below: 1. Dead animal smell in downstairs bedroom (twin bedroom)2. Rodent droppings in drawers in kitchen3. Shower handle in bedroom above garage broke off. Had to shut water off. Not fixed during our visit. 4. Same room, heating did not work. 5. Gas tank to fire pit only allowed less than an hour of burn time. Second tank empty. 6. No lights at the steps to hot tub. 7. Dryer upstairs did not dry clothes. Took 2 hours per load. Requested access to the downstairs laundry (as shown in pictures) no response from text with code 8. Stink bugs throughout house. 9. Items delivered for next guest greater than 24 hours before our departure. 10. Kitchen floor was dirty. Babies feet were black after 30 minutes of arrival. I feel if the house had been prepared before our arrival, Most issues would have not been present.
