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. It's the only homesite in the entire community grandfathered and permitted to have a fence, barn, and horses, which makes this equestrian-capable property a rare find in Blowing Rock. The house offers 5,043 heated square feet. Above the 1,231 sf garage, which holds up to 5 cars, a 594 sf guest suite has a bedroom, full bath, living room, and walk-in closet, so guests or family have their own space. Beyond the finished 5,600 sf, a 3,071 sf lower level is already framed and insulated and ready to finish, and walks out to a 1,187 sf stone patio. Finishing it would take the home to about 8,700 s.f. for a fraction of what a home that size costs to build or buy, and a 9-bedroom septic system is already in place to fully support 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, invisible fencing is installed for pets, and the acreage is open and usable. The two-story great room is built around 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 made for people who actually cook, with a custom wood island that seats five and has a prep sink, a professional-grade range with pot filler, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The main floor also has a separate formal dining room, and off the living area a room behind barn doors would make an excellent billiards room or bar. The main-level primary suite has French doors that open directly onto the deck, its own 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 garage. Wide-plank hardwood runs throughout the main level. Upstairs, a huge loft 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. Enjoy the outdoors on more than 2,300 sf of deck and patio space with a timber frame covered porch and a covered patio below it, both looking out over open lawn and pastoral views. The lower level opens to its patio through French doors and a row of windows. It has plenty of room 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.

1181 Goldenrod is unlike anything else at Blue Ridge Mountain Club. From its striking architectural presence to its extraordinary interiors, this newly completed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is a study in design, craftsmanship, and the unexpected. At 3,806 square feet, every space has been conceived with an unmistakable point of view—creating a home that is as captivating to experience inside as it is to take in from its mountain setting. The design reveals itself through dramatic forms, distinctive finishes, and an exceptional layering of materials and textures. Rather than following a familiar mountain-home aesthetic, 1181 Goldenrod takes a more expressive approach, pairing sophisticated interiors with elements that feel both unexpected and entirely at home in the mountains. Each room brings its own sense of discovery, with architectural details and finishes that reward a closer look and create a visual experience unlike anything else. That same sense of design extends outdoors, where the home opens naturally to the mountain setting and creates an effortless rhythm between interior and exterior living. Generous porches and thoughtfully positioned outdoor spaces provide places to gather, dine, relax, and take in the surrounding landscape, while the backyard firepit creates a natural focal point for evenings beneath the stars. Here, the architecture doesn't simply frame the outdoors—it becomes part of the experience. The lower level introduces yet another dimension with a generous flex room designed to adapt to the way you want to live. Imagine a sophisticated game room, a dedicated fitness space, or an indoor hot tub retreat that opens directly onto the lower porch and firepit area. The flexibility adds another layer to a home already defined by its ability to surprise and delight. New construction offers the rare pleasure of being the first to experience every detail, from the pristine finishes and modern systems to the carefully executed craftsmanship throughout. A one-car garage adds everyday convenience, while the home's location in Yadkin Point provides the added opportunity for short-term rental ownership within a neighborhood that permits rentals. Distinctive by design and extraordinary in execution, 1181 Goldenrod is a home that makes an impression from the moment you arrive—and continues to reveal something new the longer you stay. At Blue Ridge Mountain Club, life extends well beyond the home—shaped by access to miles of trails, a full-service wellness and fitness center, dining experiences, and a calendar of seasonal gatherings and traditions. Set within more than 6,000 acres of mountain landscape, the community offers a rare balance of outdoor adventure, daily convenience, and meaningful connection.

One of a kind Equestrian Estate!!! Nearly 40 acres of fenced pasture directly across from the New River, in the Fleetwood area of Ashe County between Boone and West Jefferson. Properties like this rarely come up in the High Country. The land is open and usable, with rolling pasture, wooded edges, and almost 2 miles of board fencing already in place. From the property you look out over the New River to long-range mountain views, and pastoral farmland in every direction. Boone is about 20 minutes away and West Jefferson about 15, so you get real farm living without being far from town. The centerpiece is a custom 8-stall horse barn built with care and character: board-and-batten siding, a green metal roof with cupola and dormers, stone-faced columns, and a full-length covered deck across the front of the upper level. Upstairs is almost 3,000 square feet of unfinished space ready to become a main residence, guest quarters, or an apartment over the barn. The hard infrastructure is already done. A 4-bedroom septic system and a private well are in place, which saves a buyer significant time and cost on the path to finishing the living area. A paved drive leads up to the barn, and small hay storage outbuildings sit in the pasture. The pastures also have water running to them as well. This is a rare fit for horse owners, a small cattle or hobby farm, or anyone who has been waiting for a sizable, well-fenced tract near the river with the groundwork already laid. Railroad Grade Road is one of the most scenic drives in the county, running along the New River, and paddling, fishing, and tubing are right across the road. Finish out the upstairs and live with your horses, or build a separate home on the acreage and keep the barn for the animals.
