000 Southridge Road Banner Elk, NC 28604

20 AC. VALLE CRUCIS REDUCED $174,900!!!

This is mountain property with the convenience of town!  These two ten-acre parcels are located where Hwy 105 bridges the Watauga River and passes Broadstone Road which is the way to the hamlet of Valle Crucis.  In fact you can access the land either from the bottom at Hwy 105 or if coming from Boone, turn right at Broadstone to follow Cloudrise and Ayers Mtn Rd to the very top of these parcels.  Below you’ll find directions to drive out there yourself and all over the land from either entrance.  Once at the top you command a beautiful view of the Watauga River Valley leading up to Grandfather Mountain.  Opposite to the south east are the knolls and mountain tops of Hound Ears Club.  The truly amazing thing about this land is its convenience of location.  You’re just three short miles to a large grocery store as you enter Boone.  You’re walking distance to some of the world’s greatest fly fishing in Watauga River.  Downtown Valle Crucis if I may is about the same distance down Broadstone to the original Mast General Store and the prettiest mountain valley you’ll ever see.  Cross Hwy 105 and continue on Shulls Mill to Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Or continue up 105 to Linville, Banner Elk and the ski resorts of Sugar and Beech Mountain.  Wherever you’re headed in the high country you’re absolutely poised centrally to make your jaunt short and convenient.  If you enter along Hwy 105 you’ll pass two quadplex apartments on the way to the property.  Because of the grade of the land, once you enter, switchback and climb to the main lower building site, you’re so far above these as to make them a non-issue on noise or visibility in my and the seller’s opinion.  Several aspects of this land command attention.  There are myriad rock outcroppings that are staggeringly beautiful.  Ancient hardwoods are ubiquitous.  The timber and rocks are exquisite.  Across 105 at Hound Ears these same boulder fields abound.  In fact they open their resort once a year to the Carolina Climbing Coalition which this year hosted an international competition in “bouldering” – a low elevation (-30’ or so) climbing art done without ropes above “crash pads”.  My son is active in this and it is amazing to watch the gymnastic feats of these young athletes!  As you stand on this land and glimpse the land across the way it is startling to realize that the essentially same topography across the road would cost you this much for a one-acre lot!  Why not enjoy twenty acres for the same price, NO POA fees and the freedom to do as you wish!  The land is so versatile.  While a fairly steep mountainside, the seller has invested tens of thousands of dollars in a great road system that runs all the way to the top from which you can egress onto Ayers Mountain Road East and down to the Valle Crucis entrance on Broadstone.  When you climb to the top what is thrilling to me is that you have long range views, northwest over the ridge over Valle Crucis and toward Tennessee beyond Rich Mountain overlooking Boone.  From the top of this land you command an almost 180 degree vista from northwest to southeast and what a beautiful mountain vista it is!  If you’re looking for your perfect place in the mountain and location and convenience are important to you I suggest you seriously consider this property as your future happy home.  Call or e-mail me today and we’ll have you on one of Watauga County’s premier mountain tops tomorrow.  Or follow the directions below and see easily for yourself the exquisite beauty of this land:                             DIRECTIONS TO Howell 20 Acres off Hwy 105 Boone:          FROM BOONE:   TO THE HWY 105 ENTRANCE:   SOUTH                       HWY 105        GO 5.2 MILES TO   RIGHT             SOUTHRIDGE ROAD GO 0.1 MILES, PASS TWO                                     QUADPLEXES UP ONTO GRAVEL ROAD THEN                                     LEFT UP THE MOUNTAIN   TO THE VALLE CRUCIS UPPER ENTRANCE:   SOUTH                       HWY 105        GO 5.0 MILES TO   RIGHT             BROADSTONE (AT HAM SHOPPE) GO 0.2 MILES TO   LEFT                           CLOUDRISE  GO 0.1 MILES TO   LEFT                           AYERS MOUNTAIN ROAD EAST GO 0.7 MILES TO ACCESS                                     ROAD ON LEFT TO TOP OF THE FIRST TEN ACRE LOT.                                              CONTINUE ON UP AYERS MTN ROAD EAST ANOTHER 0.3                                        MILES TO TOP OF SECOND LOT ON LEFT.
