Custom Designed and built Mountain vacation Home in Black Mountain NC.

Hawk Design Build designed and built a custom mountain retreat in Black Mountain, NC that blends rustic character with modern comfort. The home includes three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, arranged for ease of living and quiet mountain views.

One of the standout features is the pair of stone, wood-burning fireplaces, one indoors and one outdoors. Each fireplace creates a focal point and adds warmth for cool evenings, while the outdoor fireplace extends the living space to the covered porch for year-round enjoyment.

The main living area showcases vaulted tongue and groove pine ceilings with exposed beams. This ceiling treatment brings authentic mountain style and a spacious, airy feeling to the main level, while the exposed beams add visual warmth and structural character.

Two covered porches provide dedicated spots for entertaining and relaxing. These porches were planned to offer shelter from sun and rain, so homeowners can enjoy the mountain setting no matter the weather. The outdoor fireplace makes one porch ideal for gatherings, and the other porch offers a quieter place to unwind.

Hawk Design Build carried this custom home project through both design and construction stages in Black Mountain, NC. The result is a cohesive retreat where interior details, like the pine ceilings and fireplaces, connect smoothly with outdoor living areas. Each choice supports comfortable mountain living without sacrificing style.

The floor plan centers on shared living spaces, while bedroom areas remain private. With three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, the home fits family life and overnight guests. The additional half bath offers convenience for visitors and keeps daily routines running smoothly.

Materials and finishes were selected to reflect the mountain setting and to create durable, welcoming spaces. The pine ceilings and stone fireplaces are both design elements and functional features that age well in a mountain climate.

This custom-built retreat in Black Mountain, NC demonstrates Hawk Design Build's ability to combine thoughtful design with hands-on construction. Homeowners get natural materials, purposeful outdoor living spaces, and a comfortable layout that suits both everyday life and entertaining.

The project highlights how a carefully designed custom home can make the most of a mountain setting, offering cozy interiors, covered outdoor porches, and classic stone fireplaces that invite year-round enjoyment.
