Take a fresh look! Complete exterior & interior repaint just completed this month!! Rare Opportunity!! Only listing like this in downtown Banner Elk; Set up as a duplex (but could be used as a single family with a rental income apartment (recently rented both units for total $3000/month! No lease/ tenants in place now to make it easy to show/ sell), or with the stairs from the main level down to the workshop/garage, it could easily be finished out as a 5/3 home with an extra living/kitchen below) that is walking distance to town!!! It's very rare for any multi-family to come on the market in Downtown Banner Elk on city water/sewer/maintained-paved roads, and this investment has been a great asset for 11 years to the current owner. Easily accessible with paved driveway, and fully remodeled when purchased, including metal roof, new kitchens, new baths, new plumbing, new windows, lvp flooring, etc, the duplex features a 2/1 below, and a 3/2 above, with separate entrances/decks. The basement features a 1-car garage and large workshop area (this is set up to be assessed by either unit, depending on which wants to include it in their lease). There is a small flat yard around the lower unit. Old Turnpike runs next to a noisy creek, and is a quiet, flat street that is great for walking. In past tenants pay all utilities 50/50 between the units; with power on 1 meter. Ready now to move-in!

Think you can’t have it all? Think again! Welcome to the mountain property of your dreams. Situated on nearly 39 acres of unrestricted mountain land, and along a hatchery supported trout stream, this charming log cabin offers the kind of privacy, recreation opportunities, and natural beauty that is becoming increasingly hard to find, all while being just minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University. Cross the bridge as you make your way home, and let the sound of the rushing creek wash your worries away. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy everything mountain living has to offer. Inside, rich log woodwork and warm mountain character create the perfect mountain home ambiance, and outside the expansive covered deck is perfect for taking in the mountain scenery and sounds of the creek. The main level features a spacious kitchen and dining area and a cozy living room centered around a wood stove, perfect for enjoying evenings by the fire while watching the snow fall outside. A large primary suite on the main level has its own ensuite bathroom and two large closets. You will also find a half bath and the laundry room on this level for ease as well. Upstairs, there is a second bedroom, a second full bath, and a large bonus space ready to become whatever fits your lifestyle, whether that’s a home office, bunk room, studio, game room, or additional sleeping space. The lower level offers even more possibilities with a large flex room awaiting your finishing touches, plus a two car basement garage with plenty of room for vehicles, toys, or mountain gear. The side by side is also negotiable, making it even easier to jump right into your next adventure! And adventure is truly at your doorstep. Fish for trout in the creek, explore your own acreage, hunt, hike, or ride ATVs without having to load up the car and head somewhere else. With all this acreage, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. When you do want to venture out, you’re less than 15 minutes from downtown Boone and Appalachian State University, giving you easy access to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, campus activities, and all that Boone has to offer. And if hiking your own land isn't enough, Elk Knob State Park is only a few minutes away, adding even more miles of hiking trails, spectacular mountain scenery, and outdoor adventure within incredibly easy reach. Unrestricted, recreational, and incredibly convenient, this is more than a cabin in the mountains. It’s a sanctuary where you can fish before breakfast, gather around the fire at night, and spend your weekends enjoying everything the mountains have to offer, all from your own backyard.

Some homes are built to exist on a piece of land. This one was designed because of it. Set on approximately 7 acres with over 600 feet of direct New River frontage, this custom, multi-level contemporary retreat was intentionally engineered so that nearly every room captures water, mountain, or treetop views. The architecture follows the terrain—stacked, elevated, and open—creating a sense that the home floats above the river rather than simply sitting beside it. Inside, soaring ceilings, open sightlines, and dramatic vertical volume define the space. Outside, multiple levels of expansive decking wrap the home, offering endless places to gather, unwind, or simply watch the river move below. Whether it’s morning coffee suspended over the water or evenings around the hot tub under the stars, the outdoor living here is as intentional as the interior. The property has undergone a thoughtful transformation into a high-performing short-term rental while maintaining the soul of a mountain retreat. Recent improvements include new flooring, fresh interior paint, upgraded decking, a redesigned game and recreation space, a new roof, and the addition of a hot tub—all contributing to both guest experience and long-term durability. The home is being offered fully furnished, allowing for a true turnkey transition. From an income perspective, the performance tells a clear story. The property generated approximately $115,000 in its first year of short-term rental operation. In subsequent years, revenue has remained consistent in the $65,000–$75,000 range, despite intentional owner usage, storm-related interruptions including Hurricane Helene, and periods of repair and improvement. With stabilized operations and full availability, the property is demonstrably capable of returning to—and exceeding—six-figure annual gross revenue. What makes this opportunity especially compelling is its balance of seclusion and accessibility. Located roughly 10 minutes from Boone, the home offers immediate access to dining, shopping, Appalachian State University, and year-round tourism, while still feeling entirely removed once you cross the bridge onto the property. The New River provides world-class fly fishing, tubing, and kayaking directly from the land, and the surrounding High Country offers hiking, skiing, and outdoor recreation in every season. This is not a typical mountain home. It’s not a typical river property. And it’s certainly not a typical short-term rental. It’s a purpose-built experience—equally suited as a personal retreat, a legacy property, or a high-performing investment for a buyer who understands that the most valuable assets are the ones that cannot be easily replicated.
