About This Home

Perched at approximately 3,700 feet, Lynn Hill Homestead offers a rare blend of privacy, elevation and sweeping long-range views of Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding Blue Ridge layers. Tucked at the end of a quiet road on 4.43 acres, the property feels peacefully removed yet remains minutes from downtown Boone and Appalachian State University. The 1,974-square-foot residence features four bedrooms and three baths, with a thoughtfully designed main-level living layout for effortless everyday comfort. A separate guest studio of nearly 1,000 square feet provides exceptional flexibility, ideal for hosting, rental income, or a private creative or wellness space. The land captures the spirit of classic mountain living, offering a spring-fed pond, open pasture suitable for horses, and sunlit space for gardening lending itself to the hobby farm enthusiast. With no HOA or zoning restrictions and a permitted six-bedroom septic system, the property presents outstanding potential for multi-generational living, expansion, or investment as a vacation rental. This is a timeless High-Country homestead defined by quiet beauty, versatility, and enduring appeal.
