Property Description
Set just below Thunder Hill Overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, this mountain estate offers a rare combination of privacy, acreage and long-range layered views. While the property carries a Lenoir address, it is located within the Blowing Rock school district, including Blowing Rock Elementary and Watauga High School, and is serviced by the Blowing Rock Fire District. Positioned on approximately 27 acres, the three-bedroom residence includes three en suite baths and an open-concept floor plan designed for both daily living and entertaining. Interior finishes reflect a focus on natural materials and craftsmanship, including oak hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and travertine tile in the kitchen and baths. Ceiling heights reach 10 feet, complemented by 8-foot doors, enhancing natural light and scale throughout the home. Each bedroom suite offers its own distinct millwork with custom wainscoting in cherry, wormy maple, and sinker cypress, creating a warm, refined mountain aesthetic. The kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, hickory cabinetry, and a dual-fuel range, seamlessly blending functionality with timeless design. A spacious upper-level bonus room provides flexibility for additional living, recreation, or workspace. There is a two car heated basement garage. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a covered front porch perfectly positioned to take in the expansive views, as well as a dramatic rock outcrop accessed by stone steps—an ideal vantage point to experience the surrounding natural beauty. Additional features include high-speed internet via Skyline/SkyBest and a pre-installed Ring security system. The property consists of two tracts, including one with potential for a future homesite. A truly distinctive offering where natural beauty, privacy, and craftsmanship converge, within one of the region’s most established mountain corridors. An expired septic permit is on file for Tract 2, and a septic easement is in place. A portion of the land has been conveyed to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the property is enrolled in a Forest Management Plan, which provide reduced property taxes and is subject to continuation to receive the tax benefits. There is a 303 sq. ft. difference between the tax record and professional measurements likely due to the stairwell to the basement and a heated storage room in the basement.
