Some mountain homes make you choose between a great investment and a great retreat. This one refuses to make you pick. Offered turnkey furnished and sitting 2 acres with no HOA, 784 Alpine Drive is a rare find in the High Country — a true 6-bedroom, 6-bath mountain home with long-range mountain views, room for everyone, and options that most properties simply can't offer. The main level lives beautifully on its own. A level entry at both the front door and garage means single-level living is absolutely possible. Step inside to a cozy living area anchored by a brick fireplace, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a second more open living space beyond — all with walls of windows and access to a full-length back deck where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain views. The primary suite features its own view, a sizable walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with double sink vanity. The second main level bedroom also offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath! An office off the foyer with a closet and fold-out sofa adds even more flexibility. A third full bathroom, and a laundry room which connects to the heated and cooled oversized 2-car garage finish out the main level. Then there's the lower level — and it will genuinely surprise you! This isn't a renovation — it's brand-new construction, built from the slab up in 2025 and nearly 2,500 square feet. It feels like a second home entirely because, in many ways, it is. A comfortable living area opens to a full kitchen and dining space. A second large family room with pool table and TV is a great gathering spot. Stroll through to the bunkroom with 8 beds — a rental dream. Three additional bedrooms and baths complete the level, accessible via interior stairway or a separate outside entrance. That separate access is the key to everything. Rent both levels together for maximum income, or keep one for yourself while the other generates revenue! Recent updates to the home include new hot water heaters in 2024 and 2025, a new roof in 2025, and a new heat pump for the lower level in 2025. Centrally located in Seven Devils, you're minutes from ziplining, tubing, hiking, and more! Just 15 minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and less than 25 minutes to both Downtown Boone and Downtown Banner Elk.

Sitting less than five minutes from the App State campus and downtown Boone, and just two minutes from Kidd Brewer stadium, this property offers a rare combination of convenience and opportunity at an accessible price point. This 1970 split-level home sits at the end of a short, shared driveway on a wooded 0.37-acre lot that provides a natural buffer from neighbors. Whether you are looking for a highly desirable student investment property or a solid starter home where you can build sweat equity, the location alone makes this a standout option. Inside, you enter a spacious living room anchored by a cozy woodstove fireplace and large picture windows that overlook a small grassy lawn, ideal for a firepit & outdoor dining set. The main level also features a separate den or dining area and a tidy, functional kitchen. Upstairs, the layout includes three bedrooms and two full baths. While plenty of opportunities remain to make this home your own, the big-ticket items have already been handled for you. The seller invested in a new roof and a new heat pump in 2025, and recent luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home. For added convenience, the property is connected to city water, sewer, and trash collection. The lower level is a major bonus, featuring an oversized one-car garage with over 800 square feet of space perfect for a workshop, gear storage, or a fitness area. This space includes a separate laundry and utility room, and an extra refrigerator that conveys with the sale. The property is being sold as-is. Buyers should note that a buried fuel tank on-site was properly decommissioned and filled with sand circa 2005, and a damaged sewer line was replaced at front of garage in June 2026 (all proper permits were pulled). Additionally, the seller reports water seepage under the garage door during heavy rains– it’s possible that the solution may be as simple as replacing the bottom weather stripping. If you want to be close to everything Boone has to offer, schedule a showing before this one is gone.
