Perched among the trees above the 11th fairway of Blowing Rock Golf & Country Club, Green Hill Haven combines an exceptional golf-course setting with a remarkably spacious floor plan and a comprehensive, high-end renovation rarely found in Blowing Rock. Thoughtfully reimagined from the inside out, the residence blends refined finishes and quality materials with extensively modernized systems, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and exceptionally comfortable...all within a few minutes of Main Street. Designed for entertaining and family gatherings, the expansive main level is a standout feature, offering three full bedroom suites on one level within an open, flowing floor plan. The great room features tall ceilings, hardwood floors, a stone fireplace and direct access to the expansive rear terrace, where the elevated setting creates a wonderful treehouse feel overlooking the fairway below. Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas allow the home to comfortably accommodate a crowd while retaining an inviting sense of warmth. The redesigned kitchen is equally impressive, featuring custom cabinetry, GE Café appliances, quartz countertops and matching backsplash, designer lighting, generous workspace and a dedicated coffee and wine bar. It opens naturally to the dining and living areas, including an additional fireside den, creating excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with terrace access, two generous walk-in closets and a dramatic double-sided fireplace shared with the oversized bath. Two additional ensuite bedrooms, a private office, laundry center and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs is another ensuite bedroom along with approximately 1,300 square feet of unfinished attic space, providing extraordinary storage and compelling potential for future finished expansion. The lower level offers a spacious recreation and billiards room opening to a covered terrace, a large cedar-lined storage room and a private apartment suite complete with bedroom/living space, full kitchen, bath and a second laundry center...ideal for extended family and guests. The renovation extends well beyond the finishes. Improvements include a newer architectural-shingle roof, James Hardie exterior siding and custom trim, updated HVAC, PEX plumbing replacement, extensive electrical modernization, dual Rinnai tankless water heaters and a Generac whole-house generator. A private passenger elevator serves all three levels, while the exceptionally spacious heated three-car garage provides year-round convenience. A newly paved circular drive and parking court provide ample additional parking. Located at approximately 3,725 feet in elevation with paved, city-maintained access, city water and sewer, high-speed internet and convenient proximity to downtown Blowing Rock, Green Hill Haven offers a particularly difficult combination to replicate: quality construction and renovation, exceptional scale, three main-level suites, abundant gathering space and a private, elevated setting overlooking the golf course. For those seeking a home designed to bring family and friends together, this is an extraordinary Blowing Rock offering.

Hidden on the banks of Howard’s Creek, 171 Grouse Covert Road is a rare High Country retreat where the sound of rushing water, towering trees, and exceptional craftsmanship come together on 3.78 acres with more than 575 feet of creek frontage. Just minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University, yet surrounded by the sights and sounds of the natural world, this is a property that feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary. Cross the creek and follow the drive into the woods, where a custom-built log home emerges among the trees. Crafted by a father-and-son team, the home reflects an appreciation for materials, craftsmanship, and the character of the mountains. Hand-hewn hemlock logs frame an interior accented with local wormy chestnut, cherry, and knotty alder. The result is a home with an unmistakable sense of place—warm, substantial, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Inside, the home is designed for gathering and lingering. A dramatic rock fireplace anchors the living room, while the expansive gathering room brings together the kitchen, dining area, and space to entertain. The main-level primary suite opens directly toward the outdoor living spaces, where a fireplace and patio invite evenings spent beneath the trees and beside the creek. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a full bath, accompanied by a cozy office or playroom that adds flexibility for family and guests. But it may be the land that leaves the greatest impression. Howard’s Creek moves through the property with a constant, soothing rhythm, offering more than 575 feet of waterfront to explore, fish, and enjoy. For the fly fisherman, it is an extraordinary opportunity to have the creek as part of everyday life. For everyone else, it is simply a beautiful place to slow down—listening to the water from the expansive front porch, gathering around the outdoor fireplace, or wandering through the woods as the seasons change. A lower-level garage, workshop, and abundant storage provide the practicality to complement the character of the home. There is something wonderfully timeless about this property. It is not merely a home near the mountains—it is a place shaped by the creek, the forest, and the craftsmanship of the people who built it. Opportunities to own this much creek frontage, acreage, and character so convenient to Boone are exceptionally uncommon. Seller currently receives mail at the downtown Boone Post Office. Physical mail delivery is not currently available to the property.
