Blue Ridge Mountain Homes – NC Mountains

The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina have long been known for their magical grandeur.  Splendid long-range vistas, rolling pasture lands and historic towns define the region and add an extra attraction to this scenic wonderland.

 Homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains are no exception. 

They offer a lifestyle that is unsurpassed in comfort, value, and tranquility. Few locations in the East offer such an abundance and variety of homes styles and architecture.  Far removed from the cookie cutter urban sprawl of the cities, homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains offer the opportunity to own your own haven complete with privacy, clean air, and the majesty of an unspoiled landscape. 

Mountain Homes with Views

Create your own getaway in a sprawling home perched high on a mountaintop overlooking miles of the renowned Blue Ridge horizon.  Marvel at the morning fog as it moves throughout the valleys, see the brilliance of color through a long-lasting fall or the peaks frosted in winter by an elevated snow. 

Contemporary Homes

Enjoy the creature comforts of a contemporary log home with open floor plans, custom kitchens, and baths, complete with all the amenities like granite, quartz, and limestone.  Linger in a spacious great room beside a floor to ceiling river stone fireplace while entertaining in a home with bright plate windows that enhance the views and bring in light.

Cozy Log Cabins

The thought of a cozy antique log cabin with timber and chink construction is a dream looked for by many. There are traditional cabins newly built but completely reminiscent of the frontier days.

 By using the construction techniques of a hundred or more years ago, these cabins are replicated in the these newly built homes that offer all the rustic elegance of historical living with modern amenities and are seamlessly blended alongside handmade cabinetry, hand-hewn beams and staircases, wide plank pine flooring and the traditional elements of hearth and home.  

Constructed from reclaimed barn wood and timber of years ago, the replicated log cabins have front covered porches and are set amidst the trees and creek sides with many having long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views.  These are homes that invite the wonders of nature and allow a step back through time

The heritage of the Blue Ridge Mountains homes also includes Federalist brick homes and Victorian farmhouses.  There are turn of the century properties with sprawling acreage, barns, and outbuildings, along with charming Craftsman-style and bungalow cottages. Contemporary homes exist as well as mid-century homes, cottages and ranch style built for the period.

With such a diverse offering of custom and period homes, there is a property available for every taste and lifestyle.

The Blue Ridge lifestyle is the perfect balance between adventure and retreat.  With quaint mountain towns like West Jefferson, Jefferson and Lansing, Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk, living in the Blue Ridge offers easy access to the best of town and country.
