Tucked into the trees atop a mountain across from an apple orchard, this authentic log cabin has been renovated from the ground up — and it shows in every detail. Original hand-hewn logs and chinking meet crisp shiplap, wide-plank floors, and a soft sage kitchen with butcher block counters. The vaulted great room ladders up to a sleeping loft above and slides open to multiple porches below, where the mountains do the rest of the talking. Outside, a cedar barrel sauna sits just off the deck beside a cozy outdoor shower — the kind of pairing that turns a weekend into a reset. Inside, the bath is finished in custom pebble tile, floor to ceiling, with matte black fixtures and a rain head. Every system is dialed in: brand-new tankless gas water heater, mini-split heating and cooling, and a full top-to-bottom renovation behind the walls. It comes FULLY FURNISHED and ready to go. Leather seating, a real king bed in the loft, dishes in the cabinets, art on the walls. Walk in with a duffel bag and stay. What makes it rare: it's move-in ready as a second home and turnkey as a short-term rental. Gated community, mountain views, covered porch, sauna, and a setting so still you'll notice the quiet before you notice anything else. Quiet beyond quiet. Come see it. Broker Interest

High above the Blue Ridge, where the air feels a little lighter and the world slows to a quieter rhythm, there’s a place where mornings begin with nothing but stillness and an endless horizon. As the first light spills over the mountains, you step into the great room with vaulted ceilings rising above you, a stone fireplace grounding the space—and before anything else, your eyes are pulled outward. Layer upon layer of blue ridgelines stretch as far as you can see, fading softly into the distance. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause… every single time. Mornings drift easily here. Coffee in hand, you move out onto the covered porch, where a second fireplace flickers on crisp days and the mountains feel just close enough to touch. By evening, that same spot becomes something entirely different—golden light settling into deep blues, a glass of wine in hand, the kind of quiet you didn’t realize you were missing. Life inside flows just as effortlessly. The kitchen opens to the living space, designed for connection without ever taking away from the view. The primary suite becomes its own retreat, where you wake up to the mountains and end the day in a spa-like bath, soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, and the feeling of being completely removed from everything else. Upstairs, guests have their own space to settle in—a loft, two bedrooms, room to relax. Downstairs, the home shifts into gathering mode. A second stone fireplace, game room, and flexible spaces create the perfect setting for long weekends, holidays, or simply time well spent. There’s space for everyone, but never a sense of crowding. And then there’s the path. Tucked just below the home, a quiet trail leads you down the mountain to a small outbuilding, once an observatory. It’s easy to imagine what it could become again.. a studio, a hideaway, a place to sit under a sky full of stars with nothing but the sound of the mountains around you. But what makes this place truly rare isn’t just the home, it’s where it lives. Sunalei Preserve was designed for those who value something different. Nearly 1,000 acres of protected land. Elevations climbing above 5,500 feet. Direct access to Elk Knob State Park just beyond your doorstep. And when you’re ready to venture out, the best of the High Country is within easy reach. Spend an afternoon in Blowing Rock, known for its boutique shopping, art galleries, and elevated dining, or explore Banner Elk, home to award-winning restaurants, cozy wine bars, and nearby skiing at Sugar Mountain Resort and Beech Mountain Resort. And just 20 minutes away, Boone offers the perfect balance of convenience and charm, with vibrant downtown streets, local shops, and a true mountain-town energy anchored by Appalachian State. Here, days are spent outdoors, and evenings often lead to High Mountain Camp (one of the highest elevation clubhouses in the eastern US) where sunsets feel bigger, conversations last longer, and time seems to stretch in the best way. There are no short-term rentals here. No revolving doors. Just a true sense of retreat.. quiet, preserved, and intentional. And after a while, you realize… it’s not just a home you’ve found. It’s a different way of living.

Estate #5 features ridgeline and nature views framed by mature hardwoods and native mountain vegetation. Streams flowing through this property and off Snake Mountain serve as important headwaters feeding the North Fork of the New River, widely regarded as the second-oldest river in the world, adding both ecological significance and natural beauty to the homesite. In addition, this estate borders approximately 38 acres of Sunalei conservation land, significantly enhancing the sense of seclusion and ensuring protected surroundings beyond your property lines. Owners within Sunalei Forest may build a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet along with a secondary guest home, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or legacy estate planning. Equestrian use is permitted within Sunalei Forest, further expanding the possibilities for those seeking space, privacy, and authentic mountain living. Sunalei is surrounded by extensive preserved lands, including nearly 450 acres owned by Elk Knob State Park and approximately 60 acres of Sunalei community-owned mountaintop property featuring High Mountain Camp, a gathering lodge with a commercial-style kitchen, billiards, a large stone fireplace, an expansive viewing deck, and over 100 miles of western mountain views. With fewer than 100 total homesites planned for the entire community, Sunalei represents a rare opportunity to own large, protected acreage in a high-elevation Blue Ridge setting that could not be replicated today.

Sunalei Forest Estate #3 offers 10.20 secluded, wooded acres within one of the High Country’s most intentionally preserved and low-density mountain communities. Perched at just over 4,200 feet in elevation, this homesite features a gentle, build-friendly slope and captures both ridgeline and layered long-range mountain views. Each Sunalei Forest homesite permits a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet along with a secondary guest home, creating flexibility for estate-style living or multigenerational use. Horses are permitted, reinforcing the large-tract character and legacy nature of this release. Sunalei is thoughtfully designed to follow the natural contours of the Blue Ridge Mountains, drawing inspiration from the classic Great Camps while preserving the untamed character of the land. The community consists of fewer than 100 homesites across its expansive mountain setting — a density level that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today. Approximately 60 acres at the summit are owned by the Sunalei Property Owners Association, and more than 500 acres within the community and surrounding Elk Knob State Park are permanently protected conservation land, creating a rare sanctuary of preserved ridgelines and uninterrupted views. Multiple streams run through portions of this property and down Snake Mountain, ultimately feeding the North Fork of the New River — widely regarded as one of the world’s oldest rivers — adding natural beauty and ecological significance to the land. Sunalei Forest represents the final release within the community — a curated collection of high-elevation estate-sized homesites, most exceeding 10 acres, selected for privacy, view corridors, and long-term preservation. Estate #3 is located just a short drive, bike ride, or walk from High Mountain Camp, the mountaintop gathering lodge featuring a commercial-style kitchen, billiards, an oversized stone fireplace, and an expansive deck offering panoramic western views stretching more than 100 miles into Tennessee. This is a rare opportunity to own meaningful acreage within a permanently protected mountain setting where elevation, space, and privacy define ownership.

Headline: Historic "Sarah Boone" Homestead & Investment Opportunity on Cove Creek – 3 Homes, 3+ Acres, No Restrictions! Step back in time and into an incredible investment opportunity with this unique 3+ acre compound featuring extensive Cove Creek frontage. Offering three distinct structures, income potential, and rich local history, this property is a rare find with heavy infrastructure improvements already completed. 1. The Historic Main House (Circa 1900): Reputed to be the former home of Sarah Boone (Daniel Boone’s sister), this ~1,400 sq. ft. farmhouse (4 bed/2 bath) is a restoration dream. While it requires full renovation, the "heavy lifting" is done: a new metal roof, complete replumbing, and updated electrical are in place. The interior has been gutted and prepped, featuring a newly framed bathroom and opened-up floorplan, ready for your vision. 2. The Creek-Side Cottage: Sitting directly on the water, this 1 bed/1 bath cottage features a basement garage. It has been sheet-rocked, wired, and had the bathroom built out. It needs updates but offers unmatched tranquility right next to the rushing water. 3. The Income Generator: A ~1,000 sq. ft. mobile home (3 bed/1 bath) is currently generating $900/mo from excellent, reliable tenants (willing to stay or go with 30-day notice). Recently refreshed with a newer hot water heater, new flooring (LVP and carpet), fresh paint, new appliances, and a privacy fence. In addition the two RV's each bring in $400 per month. The Land & Infrastructure: Post-Helene recovery has resulted in massive improvements: a brand new bridge, extensive grading, a new driveway, and a creek bank reinforced with a gabion wall. The property includes 2 wells (new pumps), 2 septic tanks, and a natural spring. With NO RESTRICTIONS, the possibilities are endless. Debris and non-running vehicles will be removed prior to closing.

Honey bees pollinating the apple trees, blueberry bushes, flowers, and the raised-bed organic garden overflowing with vibrant bounty, all enhance your sense of well-being. Enjoy quiet rhythms of a mountain day: your horse contentedly grazing in the pasture, your cat lazily sunning atop the newly-built retaining wall, and a symphony of peepers and grandfather frogs at home around the flower-wreathed pond. This charming, peaceful property of nearly six acres, and so much more, could be yours! Approaching the home, flower gardens—and even an herb garden—greet you as you enter. This unique home—and a 20x24 large two-story office, workshop, and studio space—are protected for years to come with new architectural shingle roofing.
