About this home
Set high above the heart of Boone, this distinctive mountain estate commands sweeping, multi-range Appalachian views overlooking the town and Appalachian State University below — with the rare assurance of adjoining land permanently protected by Blue Ridge Conservancy, preserving both privacy and view corridors for generations to come. Approached by a private drive, the home immediately establishes a sense of arrival. A covered front porch offers a quiet place to take in the elevation and setting, while the rear of the home opens to a large stone patio designed for entertaining, dining, and soaking in the expansive mountain and town views beyond. Inside, the home is rich with character and craftsmanship. Wide-planked hardwood floors, framed beams, and vaulted ceilings create warmth and scale throughout. The expansive living area is anchored by a massive stone fireplace, serving as both a focal point and gathering space, with French doors that open directly to the stone patio and views beyond. A chef’s kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living spaces, ideal for both everyday living and hosting. A formal dining area, also featuring French doors, connects indoor gatherings to the outdoor terrace, reinforcing the home’s emphasis on lifestyle and connection to its setting.
Next, a stunning primary suite with a dramatic stone feature wall, private sitting nook with French doors to the patio, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-level bath featuring a large stone shower, his-and-hers vanities, and exceptional storage.
Upstairs, a light-filled loft with arched windows overlooks both the living area and the surrounding mountain views, creating an ideal reading space, studio, or secondary lounge. Also on the upper level are two additional primary-style ensuites, each exceptionally well-appointed with private full baths, dedicated office or sitting areas, and four closets per suite. This rare configuration makes the home equally suited for hosting family, extended stays, or multi-generational use — without sacrificing privacy. There is no HOA, therefore no architectural restrictions, and no monthly dues, offering a level of autonomy that is increasingly difficult to find in the High Country. A detached garage or motor court can be accommodated along the private drive, providing future flexibility while preserving the home’s setting and views. The true value of this property lies in what cannot be replicated: permanently protected neighboring land, unobstructed long-range views, and a vantage point above one of North Carolina’s most vibrant mountain towns. This is a home for those who understand Boone — and who seek not just a residence, but a legacy mountain estate defined by permanence, privacy, and character. This home truly provides the best views in town.
