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.

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.

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.
