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, a propane fire pit, and a top-of-the-line gas grill, 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. For a bit more action, the private tennis court will be just the place to practice your serve and play some doubles!

Awesome Outdoor Spaces
This beautiful, uniquely decorated place provided our family a great place to stay and enjoy time together. We spent countless hours in the outside spaces. For us, the couch and 4 chair set up around the gas fire pit, overlooking the mountains was was the biggest highlight of the house. Also, we were left plenty of propane so that was a plus. We also enjoyed the tennis courts and hot tub. Upon arrival, we encountered one bedroom not being usable due to a recent water damage, but a refund was issued to rectify the situation. So, I appreciated the customer service on that.

Mansion in the Mountains
This is our second time staying there for a month. We stayed Sept 2022 and now Sept 2023. The main house at Big Bear Estates is an incredible house with everything you could want. It has 6 spacious bedrooms, a fabulous kitchen, a beautiful porch with a killer view, and a great playroom with an additional bar, pool table and even a piano. Fireplaces throughout are great but the big fire table on the porch with the wrap around couch and seating was our favorite place to hang out. The tennis court is in great shape and the hot tube was a daily favorite. The location can't be beat. The house comes with so many extra features I can't name them all. The Kitchen contains every possible utencil, dishes, etc you could ever want... including a gas stove. Double dish washers came in handy for entertaining. This house is perfect for entertaining. High speed Spectrum Cable internet is critical if you are doing business from this location. Even the back up whole house generator came in handy once when the power went out. The other thing you will find is one of the most increadible art collections I have seen. There are beautiful pieces from around the world. It is truly a unique rental. We only had a couple super minor complaints but Vacasa did thier best to resolve them quickly. There are too many TVs, Direct TV boxes, Cable TV boxes, stereo systems, whole house speakers, and about 30 different remotes with no instructions. Since we stayed a month and I'm technical, I figured it out but for the short term visitor, figuring it all out would be a challenge. Otherwise I would highly recomend this increadible house.
