Welcome to Boulder Top Retreat, a mountain getaway perched atop majestic natural boulders with panoramic Grandfather Mountain views. With the tranquil sounds of Otter Falls cascading nearby, this private sanctuary feels tucked away from the world—yet is just minutes from Boone, Banner Elk, and all the High Country has to offer.
Inside, the open-concept floor plan is designed for effortless entertaining, centered around an inviting 12-foot granite island. A stone fireplace anchors the main living area, while a second fireplace in the sunroom creates the perfect setting to enjoy breathtaking mountain vistas year-round. Nestled in the treetops, the spacious primary suite offers a private retreat perched above the surrounding landscape. While the main floor is thoughtfully designed for easy one-level living, the home also features finished lower-level flex spaces ideal for guest accommodations, recreation, fitness, remote work, or additional gathering areas.
The expansive deck with custom waterfall feature is ideal for enjoying cool mountain breezes, spectacular long-range views, and the natural soundtrack of Valley Creek—all from a one-of-a-kind boulder-top setting. With easy access to Otter Falls, Seven Devils Park, Grandfather Mountain, and endless options for hiking, skiing, golf, tennis, and fishing, Boulder Top Retreat is equally suited as a full-time residence or a peaceful seasonal retreat. A new roof installed in 2025 provides added peace of mind for years to come.
