High in the lush Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina at 3600 foot elevation on 40 acres of rolling hills sits this expansive, bucolic family complex with 360 degrees of spectacular panoramic views.

This estate includes a luxurious 5,200 square foot family mansion with every amenity and five (5) individual 1400 square foot, two bedroom, two bath extended family cottages.

Unique to this property is a four acre barnyard complex with a 950 square foot barn equipped with electricity and running water, tack room, loft, baby animal paddock, and three fenced and gated pastures. You will also find a 40,000 gallon koi pond fed by an onsite spring and stocked with 200 koi fish. For the young folks, there is a children’s playground, complete with climbing wall, swings, slides, a basketball court, and a 25 foot play fort.

Valle Crucis is in Watauga County, west of Boone and only a few hours from the jamming traffic of bigger cities. Day and weekend getaways are possible, but most eventually return for a much longer stay.

Western North Carolina Mountains explode with fall colors | CITIZEN-TIMES.com | Asheville Citizen-Times

Leaf hunting and viewing will consume travelers, tourists and native North Carolinians alike over the next few weeks as colors in the high forests reach an exhilarating peak. It is anybody's guess where the leaves will change first or fall last but conventional wisdom says the higher the elevation, the later the color change. Here are 10 spectacular vistas to experience the remarkable hues of changing maple, ash, oak and more. Grab your tree identification book, binoculars and hiking gear for some serious trekking or take in the views through the car window; catch an attraction, meal or music along the way. We're starting at the highest elevations and working our way down.
