A COZY GREEN HILL COTTAGE WITH GORGE VIEWS, A GREAT LOCATION, AND LOTS OF POTENTIAL! Despite having a May 2026 Sweeting appraisal for $1,400,000, Sellers are motivated and are allowing a generous amount for updating. This charming traditional mountain cottage has functioned as a primary home with a rented guest apartment for decades. That use is "grandfathered" (see discussion), so you could continue that use or reclaim the space as a single family home. This is a neighborhood that encourages and applauds significant renovation (see recent Tour of Homes featured lineup!) and is just a golf cart ride away from the Blowing Rock Country Club clubhouse. The main level features an expanded living area that offers access to the gorge-view deck but also a cozy fireplace area with an antique mantel. The Primary Bedroom has its own small deck to enjoy the gorge view. The guest bedroom has its own bath. The kitchen and dining spaces have been important for this particular family. Appliances have been selected for their function and VERY well-used. The cozy, one-level living space allowed these sellers to settle in comfortably for decades. The lower level has independent access (though it could be connected with the addition of an interior stairway). It had been used as a separate rental apartment for decades prior to these owners' purchase and also features gorge views, a separate deck, and a separate parking area and entrance. Its living area had nice views, is L-shaped and includes a generous dining space and to the second kitchen with all appliances - electric range, microwave venthood, refrigerator, dishwasher - and lots of cabinet storage. There is an additional half bath here for visitors. A large bedroom with nice views leads to a full bath, a large closet, and the downstairs laundry room with the second set of laundry appliances included. Though a bit dated, this space has served its function well for decades. The tenant would be content to stay, but has a lease with a 30-day notice. Though no septic permit was found, the sellers have never had trouble with the existing septic tank and were not required by the Town to connect to the sewer system even though it is available for connection. This old Blowing Rock neighborhood just continues to improve. Now you can be part of it!

A classic Blowing Rock cottage less than a mile from Main Street, offering single-level living, a one-car garage, and mid-century charm — homes like this don't come available often. Located within the Blowing Rock town limits off Sunset Drive just up from Highway 321, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits an easy trip from Main Street's shops, restaurants, and Memorial Park. Start your mornings on the covered flagstone rocking chair porch overlooking the professionally landscaped front yard and stacked stone walls. Step inside to an inviting living room where the original floorplan retains the character of the home — warm wood paneling, a gas log fireplace, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The living area flows to the dining space, with plenty of room to gather friends and family after a day in town. The kitchen adds a fun retro touch with distinctive Big Chill appliances, granite counters, and a reach-through that keeps you connected to the living room. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite full bath, while two additional cozy bedrooms and a second updated full bath complete the living space. The attached one-car garage houses the washer and dryer and provides additional storage. Out back, a secluded patio offers a quiet spot to unwind and take in the mountain air. The home has been cared for well beyond the surface: a new roof and two mini splits added in 2021, a professionally engineered retaining wall and drainage system, and an encapsulated crawlspace with sump pump below. The paved driveway, part of which is being used in the photos as outdoor space, can accommodate multiple cars and there is a parking spot to the right of the garage. This is a quiet street and there is not HOA. This is a rare opportunity to own in Blowing Rock, one of the High Country's most sought-after mountain towns. Short-term rentals of less than 30 days are not permitted within the Blowing Rock town limits.

Here's your chance to own a piece of the valley in Valle Crucis!! Enjoy lots of room inside this 2006 double-wide on approximately 1.08 acre lot. You'll love the open floor plan, which places the primary bedroom on one side and two more bedrooms on the other. There's even a bonus room that works well as an office or playroom. You'll be amazed how large the living, dining and kitchen areas feel! This home needs some TLC inside with paint and flooring. Outside, the brand new metal roof was added just this year, but needs new decking in front and back. The block skirting needs some repairs but this does not affect the permanent foundation. For additional acreage, see MLS# 263067
