Enjoy Cool Summer Breezes, Valle Crucis Luxury Estate
High in the lush Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina at 3600 foot elevation on 40 acres of rolling hills sits this expansive, bucolic family complex with 360 degrees of spectacular panoramic views.
This estate includes a luxurious 5,200 square foot family mansion with every amenity and five (5) individual 1400 square foot, two bedroom, two bath extended family cottages.
Unique to this property is a four acre barnyard complex with a 950 square foot barn equipped with electricity and running water, tack room, loft, baby animal paddock, and three fenced and gated pastures. You will also find a 40,000 gallon koi pond fed by an onsite spring and stocked with 200 koi fish. For the young folks, there is a children’s playground, complete with climbing wall, swings, slides, a basketball court, and a 25 foot play fort.
Valle Crucis is in Watauga County, west of Boone and only a few hours from the jamming traffic of bigger cities. Day and weekend getaways are possible, but most eventually return for a much longer stay.
At over 3,000 feet elevation, Valle Crucis is famous for it’s abundance of North Carolina Christmas Tree farms. Valle Crucis is a vacation and retirement paradise with hiking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, mountain biking, horseback riding, skiing, golf and much more.
With both the Blue Ridge Parkway and numerous ski slopes nearby, visitors to Valle Crucis come to experience cool summer breezes, spectacular mountain scenery and outdoor recreation.
