Hey, we get it — sometimes you want to work on your golf swing while sitting atop the Blue Ridge Mountains and sometimes you’d like to stripe a fairway wood on a Bobby Weed redesign that whistles through Fraser firs and red spruces.
Welcome to Lazy Bear Lodge, a 10,000-square-foot mansion on a ridgetop North Carolina pedestal, one that comes with a Hobbit House that includes a full golf simulator as well as views of adjacent Linville Ridge Golf Club. It’s about 2½ hours to the nearest major city in Charlotte.
The gated home is currently for sale for the sum of just $26,750,000, meaning after the cool $6.4 million you’ll need at closing for costs and the down payment, your monthly mortgage will only set you back $169,169.
What’s included? Plenty. Aside from the views, there’s a 25-foot great room and a dynamic kitchen that allows you to watch the sunrise while scrambling eggs. Also, the Folly House is a perfect space to entertain, complete with a full kitchen, and a spacious and picturesque dining area.
According to the listing, the golf cart building “could be an additional guest house.” But why would you want to do that?
As for the course, it was ranked 14th on the Golfweek’s Best Private Courses in North Carolina in our 2022 ranking. Sitting at 4,949 feet above sea level, Linville Ridge is the highest elevated golf course east of the Mississippi River.
Here’s a look at the home, which was built in 2007:
