Incredible Mtn Views - 106 Acres: Private Pool, Pickleball Fall of 2026

The Great Escape is a spectacular mountain property that was built for privacy, relaxation and the enjoyment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 106 private acres. Newly renovated with massive game room, expanded kitchen, and wrap around deck. In-ground private pool (30 x 14) available MAY 1st - SEPT 30 - no exceptions on dates. Fall of 2026: Newly installed private, regulation Pickleball Court converts to 32x60 Outdoor Ice Rink mid-November through mid-April, weather permitting. 4WD REQUIRED IN THE WINTER AND EARLY SPRING.

The 5,200 square foot, three level cabin with 6 bedrooms, two of which are en suite master bedrooms is located at 3,900 feet at the center/top of a private mountain spanning 106 acres which boasts spectacular westward views of meadows, mountains, and valleys. There is a guest cabin 100 yards from the main house that can be rented for $125 per night. The guest cabin includes the 7th bedroom and 6th bathroom.

Newly added 35x25 game room has pool, poker and shuffleboard tables. It also has a 8-seat bar with beer fridge, freezer for cocktail glasses and mugs, dishwasher and sink. Wood stove.

There are four large TVs in the main house (family room, game room upstairs master, downstairs tv room) and one in the guest cabin, but we haven't put a TV in the other bedrooms primarily because we originally bought the house so our kids would watch less, not more TV.

30 minutes north of Boone, 20 minutes from Mountain City. Last half mile uphill on a private gravel driveway. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED IN WINTER AND EARLY SPRING (always check the weather). We have had guests attempt the driveway after a snow in two wheel drive and we end up having to ask our neighbors with 4WD for help :) We have had guests bring trailers with bikes/motorcycles up the driveway without any issues, however less experienced/skilled motorcycle riders might not be comfortable with the gravel/pitch of drive.

There are gas stations/convenience stores 5-10 minutes away, but the closest full service grocery stores are in Boone and Mountain City which are 30 and 20 mins, away respectively.

Key Amenities:
Main House: 6 bedrooms, 5 and 1/2 baths in main house. This includes two master bedrooms. The primary master has a fireplace and a private deck with view.

There are two upstairs bedrooms with queens that share a bathroom.

In addition there are two "kids" rooms on the lower level that share a bathroom. These bedrooms have two bunk beds in each, however there is a full size bottom bunk in each room if you need more room for adults.

High Speed WIFI and ROKU/Cable.
Sonos music in the dining room, living room, upstairs master, downstairs rec room, deck and pool/patio/hot tub area. Makes it easy to stream your favorite music.

Two large TV areas with L-shaped couches. The one on the lower level is perfect for kids. Additional TV in the upstairs master.

Large dining room table seats 16.

Guest Cabin: 1 bedroom, w bath, kitchenette and sitting room (rents for an additional $125 per night). The guest cabin is approximately 100 yards from the main house. Great for grandparents, adult children who appreciate a little quiet. We never rent the guest cabin separately, so you will have complete privacy if you don't end up renting the guest cabin also. Guest cabin has high speed wifi and a smart TV too.
