About this home

Fall is arriving in the High Country, and this mountain retreat is perfectly positioned for the show! Perched high above Boone on three combined lots, 3043 Junaluska Road offers long-range layered mountain views that will soon be framed by spectacular fall color - and when the leaves drop, an even bigger view opens up, revealing expansive mountain vistas that stretch for miles. Just down the road from the new Howard's Knob bridge and park improvements, this private setting feels tucked away in the mountains while remaining just minutes from downtown Boone, App State, dining, skiing, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Designed for gathering and making memories, the spacious log cabin offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, plus 3 additional sleeping rooms, providing plenty of space for extended family and guests. Warm wood interiors, soaring ceilings, beautiful stone fireplaces on both levels, and expansive upper and lower decks deliver the authentic mountain atmosphere buyers come to the High Country to find. Lovingly maintained by the original owners as their personal retreat and never used as a rental, the home is offered furnished with tasteful cabin decor and ready to enjoy. The lower level provides exceptional flexibility with game and gathering spaces, ideal for multi-generational living, weekend guests, or a vacation rental setup. Outside, enjoy wooded privacy, evenings around the fire pit, cool mountain air, and those ever-changing views - colorful foliage in fall and an impressive expanded panorama once the leaves are gone. With no neighboring homes in sight and a concrete driveway for easier year-round access and maintenance, the property offers a wonderful combination of privacy and convenience. Whether you're looking for a second home, full-time mountain retreat, family gathering place, or property with vacation-rental potential, this is a great time of year to see just how special the setting - and the view - really is.
