A rare mountain estate in the heart of Boone, set on 11.3 acres across three parcels, less than a mile from Appalachian State University campus. Five fully renovated historic structures combine 19th-century history, modern comfort and sustainability on a property that is currently operating as Tripadvisor’s #1 Bed and Breakfast in Boone. Lovill House (1875). Six bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, plus a half bath. Gracious living and dining rooms, a large kitchen, and an expansive covered porch. Original architectural features remain throughout, including the staircase, several fireplaces, a wraparound southern porch, and wormy chestnut finishes. Lovill Cabin (1998). A separate two-bedroom, one-bath guest cabin with a full kitchen, a living area with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor decks, and a screened porch. The Springhouse (1931). A separate one-bedroom guest cabin with a loft, one bath, an efficiency kitchen, and a porch. Lovill Barn (1875). A restored two-story barn used for weddings, graduations, and other guests related events. The upper level seats about 50 guests. The main level, with original horse stalls and a brick floor, suits smaller gatherings. The barn is accessed by a driveway made of permeable pavers and surrounded with beautiful landscaping and a hidden waterfall. The Powerhouse (2021). A separate building designed to match the architectural design of the main house that combines the solar generation, battery storage, and a back up connection to the electrical grid to power the entire property. The Powerhouse also serves as conditioned space for guest’s pets. The current owners completed a full renovation of every building, pairing historic character with modern luxury and sustainability. The project was awarded the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Project of the Year in 2021, and the Lovill estate has been featured in Southern Living, Our State Magazine, MSNOW, and other publications. The Lovill House holds a 4.99 out of 5 rating across several hundred Google reviews. Recognitions include KAYAK Top-Rated Property, NC GreenTravel’s highest certification, and the Sustainable Tourism award from Explore Boone. The house also holds a distinct place in local history. The state charter for what is now Appalachian State University was written here in 1903. W. R. Lovill, attorney for the Tweetsie Railroad, lived here with his family and was the mayor of Boone during the years the Appalachian Theatre, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the federal post office were completed. The house is not on the historic register, but both the exterior and interior retain classic period features. The undeveloped parcels offer further development potential in a constrained market with demand for housing and lodging less than one mile from campus and downtown.

Mountain living is rarely this easy! Less than 10 minutes from historic Valle Crucis, this thoughtfully updated home is tucked into a quiet, well-maintained community and offers true one-level living, three separate bedroom ensuites, an exceptionally spacious and flat yard, seasonal mountain views, and room to grow. The comfortable and functional layout offers privacy for family and guests, with all three bedroom suites on the main level, along with an additional bonus area that could easily serve as an office, den, or flex space. Upstairs, a second loft-style bonus area provides even more room to spread out. Inviting living spaces are centered around a striking floor-to-ceiling, hand-cut stone fireplace. The owners intended this to be their forever home, and their thoughtful improvements reflect that level of care. The exterior was transformed with real stone, while substantial upgrades include a whole-home generator, encapsulated crawl space, water treatment system, replacement of the water lines from the well to the home, and a new well pump in July 2026. Outside, the spacious, flat yard is a true rarity in the mountains and provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. River stone landscaping and riprap along the driveway were added for beauty and easier maintenance. The peaceful setting is also a haven for wildlife, with plenty of opportunities for bird watching right from the porch. In addition to the two-car garage, the property features a separate, fully insulated detached garage and workshop with its own loft above, offering even more space for a future studio, hobby space, or other uses. The location makes it easy to enjoy everything the High Country has to offer. Valle Crucis is home to the original Mast General Store, Harvest Farm, and Valle Crucis Community Park, where you can fish along the Watauga River or enjoy concerts throughout the summer. Even the drive home winds alongside the Watauga River, while Boone, Banner Elk, and the area's ski mountains are all within easy reach. With well-maintained paved community roads, including winter maintenance, short-term rentals permitted, and extensive improvements already completed, this home offers a rare combination of convenience, space, and peaceful mountain living.

Set on 5 acres in Sweetgrass, one of Blowing Rock's most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully crafted mountain home is less than 10 minutes from downtown's shopping, dining, and entertainment. As the only homesite in the entire community grandfathered and permitted to feature a fence, barn, and horses, this rare equestrian-capable lot represents a truly irreplaceable mountain legacy. It's a remarkable home with room to expand. This exceptional house offers 5,043 heated square feet. There is an additional 594-square-foot finished multi-generational guest carriage suite with a bedroom, full bath, living room, and walk-in closet that gives guests or family their own space. This living area is located above the 1,231-square-foot garage, which holds up to 5 cars. In addition to the finished 5,600 square feet, there is a 3,071-square-foot lower level that walks out to a 1,187 s.f. patio. Finishing the lower level would take the home to nearly 8,600 square feet for a fraction of what that size home costs to build or buy. A 9-bedroom septic system is in place to fully support potential expansion plans. The exterior is reclaimed wood from Montana over a stone base, and the arched front doors and deck doors were custom built in California. A drive lined with mature apple trees leads to the house, and invisible fencing is installed for pets. The acreage is open and usable. The two-story great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling whitewashed brick wood-burning fireplace with a hand-hewn beam mantel and built-ins on both sides. Tall windows on two levels fill the room with light. It opens to the kitchen and a large dining area. The kitchen is built around a custom wood island that seats five and has a prep sink. It also has a professional-grade range with pot filler, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. Another room on the main floor was planned as a formal dining room. Off the living area, a room closed off by barn doors would make an excellent billiards room or bar. The main-level primary suite is a retreat featuring French doors that open directly onto the deck, its own cozy gas fireplace, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath. A large mudroom with built-in storage, a laundry hookup, and a dog washing station leads to the large garage. Wide-plank hardwood runs throughout the main level. Upstairs is a huge loft that looks down over the great room and adds another living area. On one side are 3 ensuite bedrooms and a second laundry room. On the other is an ensuite bedroom with its own fireplace. Every bathroom is custom tiled, and no two are alike. More than 2,300 square feet of deck and patio space includes a timber-framed covered porch across the back and a covered patio below it. Both look out over open lawn and pastoral views. The lower level opens to that patio through French doors and a row of windows. It has plenty of space for more bedrooms or a media or rec room, and the existing chimney allows for a fourth fireplace. Sweetgrass is an upscale mountain neighborhood with a clubhouse for everyday use or events, a fitness center, a game room, and a community lake with kayaks for residents. The Blue Ridge Parkway, with its hiking trails and Blue Ridge views, is just half a mile away.
