148 Sunny Chestnut Forest None, Boone, NC

The high-country landscape near Boone is transitioning toward a more refined architectural language, characterized by the clean lines and expansive glass found in this forthcoming 2027 estate. Situated fifteen minutes from the downtown corridor on a 1.575-acre parcel, the 4,156-square-foot residence prioritizes the verticality of its environment through a twenty-foot cathedral ceiling and two-story windows framing layered mountain views. The six-bedroom, six-bathroom interior is anchored by a chef’s kitchen featuring quartz surfaces and dual refrigeration, flowing naturally into a dedicated primary suite on the main level. For the discerning investor, the Boone submarket continues to see sustained demand for large-scale modern builds that function equally well as private retreats or multi-generational gathering spaces, particularly as view-protected inventory remains limited. A lower level equipped with a game room and beverage bar further expands the property's capacity for hosting. Private viewings of this modern mountain residence may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
