Set on 2.8 acres in the heart of Linville Falls, the historic Franklin-Penland House blends timeless mountain character with thoughtfully updated living spaces designed for modern comfort. With only six owners since 1883, this remarkable estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's treasured legacy properties. Equally rich in history and design, both the main residence and guest cottage have been professionally curated and designed, creating spaces that honor the home's heritage while embracing refined mountain living. Thoughtful finishes, layered textures and carefully selected details enhance the character of each space while preserving the property's historic charm. The five-bedroom, 4.5-bath main residence is filled with warmth, character and inviting gathering spaces throughout. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a Wolf dual-fuel range, a wine refrigerator and a generous island designed for gathering with family and friends. A farmhouse sink overlooks the outdoor living spaces and gardens, bringing the beauty of the grounds indoors. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the home's living spaces, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, holidays and everyday mountain living. Designed for both comfort and flexibility, the home offers two primary suites, including one on the main level and a second upstairs. Two separate dens provide multiple areas for relaxation, while the formal dining room is suited for hosting memorable dinners and celebrations. Historic details, abundant natural light and professionally designed interiors combine to create a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Outside, the grounds are nothing short of extraordinary. Mature gardens, winding paths and the Stumpery Garden create a private oasis filled with seasonal blooms, color and charm. Thoughtfully buffered landscaping provides exceptional privacy and serenity, creating a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away. A beautifully landscaped outdoor living area with a fire pit offers a place to gather beneath the stars and enjoy cool mountain evenings. Complementing the main residence is a charming, historic guest cottage, which served as the original 1907 Linville Falls Post Office. It is thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed, offering a special retreat for visitors, extended family or potential rental use. A detached two-car garage with dedicated office space provides additional flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits or storage. The expansive acreage offers room to roam, garden, entertain and enjoy a lifestyle rarely found in today's market. Rich in history, elevated by exceptional design and thoughtfully updated for modern living, the Franklin-Penland House is a truly extraordinary High Country estate where heritage, beauty and functionality come together in one unforgettable property. The upstairs guest bedrooms are accessed by way of the main home's upstairs hallway, through the breezeway. Both bedrooms are located just off the porch/breezeway. Therefore, the 501 square feet could not be added to the total heated square footage of the home. Tax card square footage reflects the two upstairs bedrooms/501 square feet in the total heated square footage. Furnishings are not part of the sale but could be handled outside of the transaction. Please see the Franklin-Penland fact sheet for the history of the property and details of the extensive renovation.

Some mountain homes make you choose between a great investment and a great retreat. This one refuses to make you pick. Offered turnkey furnished and sitting 2 acres with no HOA, 784 Alpine Drive is a rare find in the High Country — a true 6-bedroom, 6-bath mountain home with long-range mountain views, room for everyone, and options that most properties simply can't offer. The main level lives beautifully on its own. A level entry at both the front door and garage means single-level living is absolutely possible. Step inside to a cozy living area anchored by a brick fireplace, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a second more open living space beyond — all with walls of windows and access to a full-length back deck where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain views. The primary suite features its own view, a sizable walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with double sink vanity. The second main level bedroom also offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath! An office off the foyer with a closet and fold-out sofa adds even more flexibility. A third full bathroom, and a laundry room which connects to the heated and cooled oversized 2-car garage finish out the main level. Then there's the lower level — and it will genuinely surprise you! This isn't a renovation — it's brand-new construction, built from the slab up in 2025 and nearly 2,500 square feet. It feels like a second home entirely because, in many ways, it is. A comfortable living area opens to a full kitchen and dining space. A second large family room with pool table and TV is a great gathering spot. Stroll through to the bunkroom with 8 beds — a rental dream. Three additional bedrooms and baths complete the level, accessible via interior stairway or a separate outside entrance. That separate access is the key to everything. Rent both levels together for maximum income, or keep one for yourself while the other generates revenue! Recent updates to the home include new hot water heaters in 2024 and 2025, a new roof in 2025, and a new heat pump for the lower level in 2025. Centrally located in Seven Devils, you're minutes from ziplining, tubing, hiking, and more! Just 15 minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and less than 25 minutes to both Downtown Boone and Downtown Banner Elk.

There are mountain homes… and then there are mountain experiences! Perched high above the valley floor on 5.59 secluded acres and bordering Pisgah National Forest, this stunning retreat captures the kind of long range Blue Ridge Mountain views that people spend years searching for and rarely find. With protected forestland as your neighbor and breathtaking mountain vistas stretching to the horizon, you’ll enjoy a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and an unparalleled connection to the outdoors. From sunrise over the ridgelines to evenings gathered around the fire table beneath a canopy of stars, every inch of this property was designed to showcase the view. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, rich wood finishes, and an open-concept living area anchored by a stone fireplace. The mountains become part of the décor, filling the home with a constantly changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from nearly every gathering space. Comfort is enhanced year round by a highly efficient 4-zone heat pump system, allowing customized climate control throughout the home. Step outside to expansive covered and open air decking (approx 1800 sq ft) where you’ll find multiple areas for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, sharing a bottle of wine by the fire pit, or enjoying coffee on the porch, the view is always center stage. Offering 5 functioning bedrooms, 3 full baths, and three levels of living space, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. (Septic permit is for 4 bedrooms.) The lower level recreation room creates the perfect gathering spot for game nights and mountain getaways, while the upper level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Lower level is also plumbed for another kitchen for added expansion opportunities! For investors and second home buyers alike, the property also boasts an impressive vacation rental history, making it an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the mountain lifestyle while generating income. Offered fully furnished, this is a rare turnkey opportunity. Simply arrive, unpack, and start enjoying the views. Adding even more value, an additional lot conveys with the property and already has electric service and a transformer in place, providing a rare opportunity for a future guest house, second residence, or expanded family compound. With 5.59 acres, direct adjacency to Pisgah National Forest, expansive outdoor living spaces and views that simply cannot be replicated, this is more than a mountain home… it’s a MOUNTAIN DESTINATION. The home is exceptional. The setting is unforgettable. The view is why you’ll never want to leave.
