Property Description
Located in a gated neighborhood with golf cart access to Blowing Rock Country Club and just one mile from town, this exceptional mountain home offers privacy, character, and a beautiful setting overlooking New River Lake. Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway and surrounded by rhododendron and mature trees, the property feels peaceful and secluded while remaining close to everything Blowing Rock has to offer. Designed for comfortable family living and entertaining, the home features a spacious floor plan with generous gathering spaces, including a large living room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A covered porch and separate deck provide inviting outdoor living areas, with sunset views over the lake, a waterfall, and a creek creating a truly special backdrop. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with warm wood paneling and beams, a Wolf range, Viking double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, Asko dishwasher, Scotsman ice maker, and Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. The oversized primary suite offers a private retreat with a large bath and walk-in closet, while the home's expansive layout provides ample room for children, grandchildren, and guests. Originally the developer's home, this property offers timeless appeal, exceptional privacy, and oversized three-car garage space in one of Blowing Rock's most desirable settings.
