I believe the answer is:
humility
'modesty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'home up mountain in lebanon it tantalises you initially' is the wordplay.
'home up mountain in' becomes 'humi' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'lebanon it tantalises you' is 'lity'.
'humi'+'lity'='HUMILITY'
'of' is the link.
