Rustic Modern Mountain Retreat in Prestigious Hound Ears Club. Discover timeless mountain elegance in this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, within the gates of the exclusive Hound Ears Club in Boone, NC. Rooted in rich history and founded in 1964 by the Robbins brothers, Hound Ears has evolved from a historic lumber town into one of the Southeast’s premier private communities and golf clubs. This residence blends rustic charm with refined modern updates, fully renovated in 2008, creating a warm and welcoming mountain escape. Designed with timeless features, the home showcases tongue-and-groove ceilings, natural tile floors, and stone accents throughout. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a oversized refrigerator elevate the chef’s kitchen. Two gas stone fireplaces anchor cozy living spaces, while expansive outdoor patios and decks provide multiple areas for gathering and entertaining. Step outside to a one-of-a-kind mountain setting — two serene creeks flank the property, and natural boulders dot the landscape, offering the soothing sounds and tranquil beauty that only the High Country can provide. Recent upgrades include a new roof, fresh exterior paint, new gutters, skylights, a tankless gas water heater, and a whole-house generator for peace of mind and year-round comfort. Hound Ears Club offers members a lifestyle of casual elegance, with access to an 18-hole George Cobb-designed championship golf course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, two pickleball courts, and a 5,800-square-foot fitness and wellness center with massage therapy, personal training, and group classes.
