Property Description

High above the Blue Ridge, where the air feels a little lighter and the world slows to a quieter rhythm, there's a place where mornings begin with nothing but stillness and an endless horizon. As the first light spills over the mountains, you step into the great room with vaulted ceilings rising above you, a stone fireplace grounding the space—and before anything else, your eyes are pulled outward. Layer upon layer of blue ridgelines stretch as far as you can see, fading softly into the distance. It's the kind of view that makes you pause… every single time. Mornings drift easily here. Coffee in hand, you move out onto the covered porch, where a second fireplace flickers on crisp days and the mountains feel just close enough to touch. By evening, that same spot becomes something entirely different—golden light settling into deep blues, a glass of wine in hand, the kind of quiet you didn't realize you were missing. Life inside flows just as effortlessly. The kitchen opens to the living space, designed for connection without ever taking away from the view. The primary suite becomes its own retreat, where you wake up to the mountains and end the day in a spa-like bath, soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, and the feeling of being completely removed from everything else. Upstairs, guests have their own space to settle in—a loft, two bedrooms, room to relax. Downstairs, the home shifts into gathering mode. A second stone fireplace, game room, and flexible spaces create the perfect setting for long weekends, holidays, or simply time well spent. There's space for everyone, but never a sense of crowding. And then there's the path. Tucked just below the home, a quiet trail leads you down the mountain to a small outbuilding, once an observatory. It's easy to imagine what it could become again.. a studio, a hideaway, a place to sit under a sky full of stars with nothing but the sound of the mountains around you. But what makes this place truly rare isn't just the home, it's where it lives. Sunalei Preserve was designed for those who value something different. Nearly 1,000 acres of protected land. Elevations climbing above 5,500 feet. Direct access to Elk Knob State Park just beyond your doorstep. And when you're ready to venture out, the best of the High Country is within easy reach. Spend an afternoon in Blowing Rock, known for its boutique shopping, art galleries, and elevated dining, or explore Banner Elk, home to award-winning restaurants, cozy wine bars, and nearby skiing at Sugar Mountain Resort and Beech Mountain Resort. And just 20 minutes away, Boone offers the perfect balance of convenience and charm, with vibrant downtown streets, local shops, and a true mountain-town energy anchored by Appalachian State. Here, days are spent outdoors, and evenings often lead to High Mountain Camp (one of the highest elevation clubhouses in the eastern US) where sunsets feel bigger, conversations last longer, and time seems to stretch in the best way. There are no short-term rentals here. No revolving doors. Just a true sense of retreat.. quiet, preserved, and intentional. And after a while, you realize… it's not just a home you've found. It's a different way of living.
