Perched at the top of a desirable neighborhood near App Ski Mountain, this Blowing Rock property is a true diamond in the rough—offering an exceptional opportunity to create your dream mountain retreat or capitalize on a prime flip. With selective tree trimming, the home will showcase breathtaking long-range views that stretch for miles. The house has been fully gutted and is ready for transformation. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on the main level (also gutted), plus an unfinished basement that could potentially double the living space, the layout offers flexibility to suit your vision. Whether you're looking to build a stylish second home, a spacious primary residence, or a high-performing short-term rental (permitted in this location), the potential is massive.
Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Blowing Rock, and Appalachian Ski Mountain, this property combines peaceful mountain living with unbeatable access to area attractions. An incredible investment opportunity in one of the High Country’s most sought-after locations—bring your plans and vision to life. Property is being sold as-is. Due to condition & not knowing what does operate & what does not, there may not be the ability to turn on water/gas for inspections. Buyer will need to pull all permits after closing. Will not qualify for financing due to current condition.
