Only once in a generation does a property like this come up for sale. This centrally located Foscoe 9.19 acre property overlooks Grandfather Mountain, Grandfather Stables and the Church Road valley. Iconic mountain and valley views make for one of the High Country's most unique settings with gently sloping land. Centrally located to Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain and more. The property features an older ranch-style house that could be renovated and used as a guest house, short-term rental home, primary residence or caretakers home. Land would be conducive to a large estate home and has multiple building sites and over 600' of road frontage. Land can be subdivided per Watauga County guidelines and may be suitable for a short-term rental community, tiny home community, or cabin community. Home is being sold as-is.
