3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 2,326 SqFt. ⋅ 0.59 Acres ⋅ ACTIVE Status
Situated near the top of Shores Farm II in Boone, this intentionally maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home of approximately 2,300 square feet has been carefully stewarded by the same owner for 22 years. The setting is high in the community, just below the ridge, with beautiful mountain views. This home is located near the end of a cul-de-sac, so it is private and low-traffic. The main level is easy, comfortable living, with ready access to the covered decks. The living room has vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Originally wood-burning, the fireplace is now fitted with gas logs and can be converted back to wood-burning if desired, following proper protocols. Also on this floor are a light-filled kitchen and dining, plus two bedrooms that share a bath. The east porch is the seller’s favorite spot—and once you’re out there, you’ll see why. Upstairs, find a small loft at the landing, well suited as an office or reading retreat, then a private primary suite with electric radiant heat in the tiled bath floor. The finished lower level adds a game room or den with a gas-burning fireplace, a full bath, and a tandem two-car garage. Two fenced areas include a smaller run off the main living space, with convenient access for the pups. A separate outbuilding adds storage for outdoor equipment, so that space does not take up valuable garage room. Significant covered decking wraps the home and takes in the views. A geothermal system handles heating, cooling, humidification, and air filtration, and recovers waste heat for a portion of the hot water. A whole-house generator with transfer switch and a 500-gallon LP tank keep the house ready year-round. There is also a 50-amp connection in the basement for an electric vehicle, and an Ecobee thermostat for remote temperature control. The home is being sold fully furnished, with a few owner exceptions. This is the mountain cabin you’ve been looking for: high in the community, well kept, energy-smart, and already set up to live in or rent. Pocketed in an area close to both Boone and Blowing Rock, short-term rentals are allowed, so it works as a full-time residence, a second home, or an income-producing retreat.

The convenience of central Boone plus the peace & quiet at the end of the street!

Whatever your needs, this home is positioned to meet them. NOTE: the permissibility of certain types of rentals is dependent on a variety of factors.

Incredible opportunity in Ravens Ridge! This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a private setting in a highly desirable location just minutes from downtown Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Priced below a recent appraisal, this property presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to add value and make the home their own. The lower level offers an additional 632 square feet of unfinished space that is not included in the reported living area due to the absence of a permanent heat source. Adding heat could provide an easy opportunity to expand the home's usable space and create a family room, office, recreation area, or additional living space. The property was recently inherited by family members, and the current owners have never occupied the home. As a result, the owners make no representations regarding the condition of the property and have limited firsthand knowledge for purposes of the property disclosure. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence and inspections. New roof installed in 2026. With its peaceful setting, convenient location, attractive pricing, and potential for additional finished space, this Ravens Ridge home is a rare opportunity in today's market.
