140 Wilson Ridge Road, Boone, NC

In the high-country landscape of Boone, the availability of significant acreage devoid of restrictive covenants represents a distinct rarity for the regional portfolio. This estate, established in 1990, occupies nearly seven acres of versatile terrain, offering a 6,679-square-foot residence that has undergone a comprehensive interior redesign. The six-bedroom floor plan is defined by architectural transparency, featuring a vaulted sunroom and a dual-sided fireplace that anchors the primary living suites. Beyond the main residence, which includes a professional-grade kitchen and a dedicated cinema level, the property’s true value lies in its lack of zoning constraints. With approximately one acre already leveled for potential development, the site accommodates unconventional expansions ranging from private collector galleries to secondary residential structures. As demand for unencumbered mountain land continues to outpace supply, this holding offers a strategic foothold in a submarket where privacy is rarely paired with such developmental latitude. Private inquiries and viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
