Mountain real estate is personal. So are we.

A morning cast, an afternoon nap by the river, and a fire after dark. This is the kind of place you plan your weekends around. With 160 feet of Watauga River frontage, a sprawling flat yard, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, this extensively renovated retreat in the Valle Crucis area of Sugar Grove offers a mountain experience that’s anything but ordinary. With 1 full acre of land, there’s room for yard games, gardening, and family gatherings that last all afternoon. The scenic road invites leisurely walks, while the lower patio, entertaining deck, and peaceful riverside swing give everyone a favorite spot to land. After a day outside, rinse off in the custom outdoor shower, unwind in the saltwater hot tub, or warm up in the outdoor sauna. As evening settles over the valley, gather around the firepit with the river flowing nearby. An RV hookup with electrical and sewer connections adds flexibility for those who love travel and time outdoors. A perimeter fence and gated entrance frame the grounds, complemented by established garden beds, shrubs, and fruit trees. Following Hurricane Helene in 2024, the 2 bedroom/2.5 bath home underwent a comprehensive renovation that included raising the structure, rebuilding the foundation and piers, and remodeling the interior down to the studs. The result is a thoughtfully reimagined home with an updated layout, kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, and finishes, along with new Hardie board siding, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. A propane fireplace brings warmth indoors, while a ground-level bathroom, storage areas, and a backup generator add everyday convenience. For buyers envisioning a niche vacation rental, the appeal goes well beyond a place to sleep. Picture the listing: a Watauga riverfront retreat with a private sauna, saltwater hot tub, outdoor shower, and room to gather. Fly-fishing weekends, couples’ escapes, and family getaways each offer a distinct angle for marketing a stay centered on the experience. The river and outdoor amenities give guests a reason to choose this property and build their trip around it. Of course, you may decide to keep it all to yourself. A place this special has a way of turning occasional visits into “let’s stay another day.”

Rooted in mountain tradition and appointed for modern living, this newly constructed custom log home offers an inviting escape in Beech Mountain’s desirable Charter Hills neighborhood. Fully furnished and professionally decorated, 133 Greenbriar Road is ready for everything from spontaneous ski weekends to extended summer stays. Its nearly level 0.33-acre lot, paved-road access, ample parking, and convenient proximity to Beech Mountain Resort, Beech Mountain Club, and local attractions create an appealing balance of mountain atmosphere and everyday ease. Warm wood interiors set the tone for an open main level designed around time together. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, while a beautiful live-edge table anchors the dedicated dining area with room for a large gathering. Step onto the back porch with your morning coffee or gather indoors for a leisurely dinner after a day exploring the mountain. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful place to recharge, complete with a beautiful en-suite bath and large walk-in closet. A separate half bath is conveniently located near the kitchen and living area, with a stackable washer and dryer also on the main level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings share a full bathroom, providing comfortable accommodations for guests. The lower level extends the home’s gathering spaces with a generous bonus room and separate entrance—an inviting setting for a game lounge, movie nights, or a quiet retreat. A thoughtfully designated area was intentionally designed to accommodate an additional bathroom. Beyond this, 584 square feet of unfinished space offer room to create a private cinema, expansive recreation room, or personalized entertaining space. Outside, the firepit invites evenings of conversation beneath the mountain sky. Thoughtful technology includes an EV charger, phone-controlled Wi-Fi thermostats, a Raspberry Pi Home Assistant system, a Wi-Fi doorbell, and exterior cameras. Already operating as a successful vacation rental, this turnkey log home offers a welcoming personal retreat with an established rental history—a place to gather, recharge, and enjoy Beech Mountain throughout the seasons. The home was completed in 2025, and the tax records have not yet been updated to reflect the finished living area. Professional measurements differ from the square footage reflected in the tax records by 745 square feet. Drywall finishing within a 512-square-foot portion of the basement was completed without permits. The seller represents that the work was completed to code and is working with the planning department to obtain the appropriate permits and approvals for this space.

Somebody already did the hard part on this one. The roof is new, the decks are new, and fresh paint and new floors run through every room, so your first weekend here can go to the mountains instead of a punch list. The kitchen is where everybody ends up. White cabinets, warm butcher block counters, and a deep farmhouse sink that’ll hold the biggest pot of chili you own after a cold day on the slopes. French doors open right onto a wide back deck. In October it’s the best seat for watching the leaves turn, and by July it’s where morning coffee happens. Heat is oil with Blue Ridge Energy, but there is not an HVAC system. Upstairs has three bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs gives you a fourth bedroom, a second living space, laundry, and another full bath with a tiled walk in shower, which is right where you want to land when everybody comes in wet and frozen. With two living areas, the movie crowd and the early sleepers don’t have to fight over one room. It all sits on 0.62 acres in Castle Heights with a paved drive. You’re outside town limits, so there’s no city tax bill. King Street is about 3.5 miles away when you want dinner downtown or an App State game. Winter puts App Ski Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Beech Mountain within reach, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is there in every season when you need to clear your head. Plenty of folks drive up to Boone for a weekend and spend Sunday night wishing they didn’t have to leave. You wouldn’t have to.
