Perched in the heart of the High Country, this rare framing-stage diamond offers an extraordinary shortcut to your Blue Ridge mountain dream. Avoid the grueling 12 to 24-month multi-agency permitting process, the heavy lifting, some site work, engineering, and structural framing are already complete. Situated on 2.89 unrestricted, gently rolling acres just 15 minutes from downtown Boone, this property delivers a mountain canvas that is primed for an investor, builder, flipper, or ambitious homeowner ready to select their own finishes and reap immediate equity.
The primary structure is framed as a modern 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom architectural cabin designed to capture its surroundings. Tall ceilings in the living room and 2 large sliding glass door openings, complete with high-altitude transom windows, flood the interior with natural light and frame breathtaking, mountain views of the green ridges. Step out onto the expansive deck frame, a space destined for morning coffee overlooking the valley or crisp autumn evenings under the stars.
What truly elevates this offering into a generational investment opportunity is its unique, pre-approved infrastructure. The property was engineered and permitted for a three-structure family compound or multi-unit short-term rental retreat. All three distinct 2-bedroom structures are approved to share a well and a 6 bedroom septic system. Whether you finish the current home as a private vacation getaway or fulfill the original multi-cabin vision to maximize your ROI in a high-demand short-term rental market, the foundation for success is already laid.
Accessibility is seamless and stress-free. Forget the treacherous, white-knuckle gravel tracks common to the area, this property features easy, direct access off Georges Gap Road, a fully paved, state-maintained road ensuring effortless year-round travel for guests and construction crews alike.
Bring your builder, your design board, and your vision. Opportunities that combine acreage, proximity to Boone, views, and fully approved multi-dwelling infrastructure are virtually nonexistent in today's market. Skip the red tape and step straight into the fun part of mountain construction. Schedule your tour today and see exactly where the high country hills meet limitless potential.
