About the home

Schoolhouse Ridge Lodge: a rare offering of 14+ acres with sprawling pastures offering long-range, layered Blue Ridge Mountain views, stream frontage, a mountain lodge, and a detached garage with a heated studio or workshop, all backing up to acres and acres of protected forestland of the Tater Hill Plant Conservation Preserve. With the potential for many different uses, this is the perfect place for a homestead, family estate or legacy property, horse property, or investment opportunity - no zoning or restrictions! Offering a central location to all the High Country has to offer, the property is located just twenty minutes from services in Boone and Appalachian State University, but offers ample space and privacy.
