About this home

Lot 29 in Hunters Ridge offers a peaceful mountain setting just off the beaten path, while still being centrally located in the heart of the High Country. This 1.2-acre wooded lot features cool elevations around 3,800 feet, wooded privacy, and potential long-range mountain views. Hunters Ridge is conveniently located near historic Valle Crucis, Boone, Banner Elk, and many of the area’s favorite attractions. Enjoy nearby fly fishing, Hawksnest tubing and ziplining, Grandfather Vineyard & Winery, hiking, shopping, dining, and more—all just a short drive away. The lot includes underground power, shared well access, and an expired 3-bedroom septic permit. Short-term rentals are allowed, offering flexibility for a future mountain getaway, vacation rental, or full-time residence. NC DOT is also planning to pave access to Hunters Ridge, which should improve accessibility in the future.
