Perched high above the breathtaking Johns River Gorge, this is an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own one of the finest homes on one of the most coveted lots in all of Blowing Rock. Perfectly positioned on iconic Main Street, this exceptional mountain retreat captures the kind of panoramic views most people only dream about — with sweeping vistas of Grandfather Mountain, the Johns River Gorge, and the surrounding Blue Ridge peaks.
Built by renowned Enterline & Russell Builders, this remarkable home offers an ideal blend of craftsmanship, privacy, luxury, and convenience — all less than a mile from the Blowing Rock Country Club, golf course, charming downtown shops, restaurants, and The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum.
Originally the site of the historic Farm House Restaurant & Inn, this storied property became one of only a select few homesites created to take advantage of this premier location overlooking the Gorge. Today, it stands as an extraordinary legacy property in the heart of the High Country.
Inside, timeless mountain elegance meets thoughtful modern updates. The beautifully renovated 2023 chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium appliances, dual sinks, and two dishwashers — designed for effortless entertaining and everyday luxury. Custom cabinets and doors crafted by Henry Vaughn, hydronic heated floors in the kitchen and primary bath, and beadboard reclaimed from the historic Farm House Restaurant & Inn create a warm sense of character and authenticity throughout the home.
The inviting main living spaces and primary suite are rich with texture and craftsmanship, while expansive windows frame unforgettable long-range mountain views at nearly every turn. Step outside to experience cool mountain breezes from the spectacular screened porch, complete with a relaxing hanging bed — the perfect place to unwind and soak in the scenery. Expansive open-air porch areas on the main level and covered porches on the lower level create exceptional spaces for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the mountains in every season. Four beautiful fireplaces create a warm and inviting ambiance throughout the home, offering the perfect places to gather, unwind, and enjoy the crisp mountain evenings. An oversized 4-car garage plus a separate golf cart garage provide exceptional space for vehicles, mountain toys, and easy trips into town or to the country club.
Recent exterior improvements completed by Hibriten Construction include a stunning new cedar shake roof, fresh exterior paint, repairs, and extensive refreshing of the property. Solar panels installed within the last five years help reduce energy costs while enhancing efficiency.
Opportunities like this rarely become available in Blowing Rock — an exceptional luxury mountain home with iconic views, rich history, unmatched craftsmanship, and an unbeatable location just moments from everything the village has to offer.
