A 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath home with over 3,500 square feet is now available on 1.35 acres in Seven Devils, just off the corridor between Boone and Banner Elk. The property carries a sense of presence, with panoramic views of Grandfather Mountain from every room. The level-entry main floor opens into a great room where a fireplace anchors the space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings clad in stained provincial spruce. A wall of glass frames the mountains and rear deck. The scene is spectacular. The kitchen continues the open plan, flooded with natural light and finished with abundant cabinetry and counter space. An island provides storage, a pull-out double trash bin, bar seating, and a farm sink, while a 36-inch commercial-grade range (propane cooktop with electric oven and air fry), KitchenAid refrigerator and dishwasher, wine refrigerator, and drawer microwave complete the setup. It is a practical and inviting space for the cook who likes to share the room and entertain. Laundry, pantry, and additional storage sit just off the kitchen and include a second sink. The primary suite on this level includes a soaking tub, a separate walk-in shower with tile surround, a double vanity, and dual closets. Hickory flooring runs throughout the first and second floors (baths excepted). Upstairs, two nearly identical ensuite bedrooms share a central sitting area. The same stained spruce vaulted ceilings continue, with large windows framing big-sky views. A wood railing runs along the open gallery between the bedrooms and overlooks the living space below, amplifying the open feel of the house. The lower level contains a full bath, an office with closet, and an art/craft studio, finished in LVP flooring. The two-car garage (8-foot high-wind thermo door with side-mounted opener for extra ceiling height) adjoins a mudroom/mechanical room with its own entrance, large sink, and storage. Sliding glass doors in the garage lead to an expansive lower deck. Exterior details include LP Smart Siding in a board-and-batten style, Sierra Pacific premium windows, Windsor premium sliding doors, and a solid mahogany front entrance door with thermo-panel glass. Construction uses I-beam welded framing with tubular steel on the view side, wrapped in wood to create an ultra-solid support wall. A multi-zone Lennox heat-pump system handles heating (propane backup on the main and lower levels; independent unit upstairs), supported by two 200-amp service panels. Level entry is available from the driveway, with additional access from the lower-level garage. The sellers envisioned this beautiful home as a place to celebrate mountain living and thought through every detail so it would feel both livable and true to the setting. With a few construction items yet to be completed, the home is already well suited to thoughtful mountain living. It works equally well as a second home, an investment property, or a primary residence. You will have what you need and more. Welcome home.

A rare mountain estate in the heart of Boone, set on 11.3 acres across three parcels, less than a mile from Appalachian State University campus. Five fully renovated historic structures combine 19th-century history, modern comfort and sustainability on a property that is currently operating as Tripadvisor’s #1 Bed and Breakfast in Boone. Lovill House (1875). Six bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, plus a half bath. Gracious living and dining rooms, a large kitchen, and an expansive covered porch. Original architectural features remain throughout, including the staircase, several fireplaces, a wraparound southern porch, and wormy chestnut finishes. Lovill Cabin (1998). A separate two-bedroom, one-bath guest cabin with a full kitchen, a living area with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor decks, and a screened porch. The Springhouse (1931). A separate one-bedroom guest cabin with a loft, one bath, an efficiency kitchen, and a porch. Lovill Barn (1875). A restored two-story barn used for weddings, graduations, and other guests related events. The upper level seats about 50 guests. The main level, with original horse stalls and a brick floor, suits smaller gatherings. The barn is accessed by a driveway made of permeable pavers and surrounded with beautiful landscaping and a hidden waterfall. The Powerhouse (2021). A separate building designed to match the architectural design of the main house that combines the solar generation, battery storage, and a back up connection to the electrical grid to power the entire property. The Powerhouse also serves as conditioned space for guest’s pets. The current owners completed a full renovation of every building, pairing historic character with modern luxury and sustainability. The project was awarded the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Project of the Year in 2021, and the Lovill estate has been featured in Southern Living, Our State Magazine, MSNOW, and other publications. The Lovill House holds a 4.99 out of 5 rating across several hundred Google reviews. Recognitions include KAYAK Top-Rated Property, NC GreenTravel’s highest certification, and the Sustainable Tourism award from Explore Boone. The house also holds a distinct place in local history. The state charter for what is now Appalachian State University was written here in 1903. W. R. Lovill, attorney for the Tweetsie Railroad, lived here with his family and was the mayor of Boone during the years the Appalachian Theatre, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the federal post office were completed. The house is not on the historic register, but both the exterior and interior retain classic period features. The undeveloped parcels offer further development potential in a constrained market with demand for housing and lodging less than one mile from campus and downtown.
