Blowing Rock Condo with Magnificent Grandfather Mountain & Johns River Gorge Views | Tasteful Modern Mountain Renovation An incredible opportunity to own a newly renovated condo with views that dreams are made of in historic Mayview, this beautifully renovated mountain residence enjoys an extraordinary setting directly along the rim of the Johns River Gorge, with commanding views of Grandfather Mountain, Pisgah National Forest and layers of Blue Ridge peaks stretching toward the distant Charlotte skyline. An extensive modern mountain renovation transformed the main living level into a light-filled, open floor plan designed around the spectacular scenery. A beautifully appointed kitchen flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, while expansive windows bring the mountains into nearly every moment. Step onto the terrace for cool mountain breezes and unforgettable sunsets over Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding Blue Ridge peaks. Easy one-level living is a highlight, with the primary living spaces and a guest suite conveniently located on the entry level. Downstairs, the custom Pecky Cypress walls surround the versatile family room/bunkroom with bar and full bath and creates a welcoming retreat for family and guests. The location is equally special. Tucked into one of Blowing Rock's most treasured neighborhoods, the residence feels wonderfully private and connected to nature, yet is close to downtown Blowing Rock. Nearby trailheads and some of the area's best hiking are an easy walk away, while the protected expanse of Pisgah National Forest provides a magnificent natural backdrop. Beautifully renovated, effortlessly livable and blessed with one of the High Country's most memorable views, this is mountain living at its best—a peaceful Mayview retreat where the scenery takes center stage. Rentals are not permitted, preserving the residential character of this special community.

Three adjoining wooded lots offered as one combined ±0.85-acre parcel, with a 3-bedroom septic permit already in place. The setting is private and forested, with view potential from the higher ground—an inviting canvas for a well-sited mountain home at the peak of the property. This is an aggressively priced opportunity in the Blowing Rock School District, with convenient access to Boone and Blowing Rock. The land has the bones for a beautiful homesite: mature trees, and room to design around the topography.

The original deed includes water rights, but the seller has been advised that additional connections may no longer be available. The listing agent is in direct contact with Carolina Water Services to confirm the current status and will update these notes as soon as they are received. Buyers should verify water availability, well options if needed, and all utility and access requirements during due diligence. A wooded High Country parcel with room to open up the views—aggressively priced. Check this one out.
