About 1356 Blue Valley Road
A truly extraordinary legacy property, 1356 Blue Valley Road is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable equestrian estates in the Highlands area. Encompassing approximately 18 breathtaking acres and bordering the pristine Nantahala National Forest, this private mountain retreat offers an unrivaled combination of natural beauty, recreational amenities, and refined country living. The estate is highlighted by a magnificent six-bedroom, five and one-half bath main residence thoughtfully positioned to overlook the property's stunning grounds. Complementing the main home is a beautifully updated century-old guest house featuring two bedrooms and two baths, blending historic charm with modern comforts. Designed for both equestrian enthusiasts and outdoor sportsmen, approximately seven acres are enclosed with classic four-rail fencing and supported by full stables. The property's exceptional amenities include a professionally managed lake stocked with bass, two additional ponds, a charming boathouse, gazebo, dog kennel, and a professional trap range. The entire estate can be illuminated from the main residence, creating a magical evening setting unlike any other. Whether enjoying a morning ride through the fenced pastures, casting a line into the stocked lake, entertaining guests by the water, or simply taking in the serenity of the surrounding forest, this property offers a lifestyle seldom found in the mountains of North Carolina. Despite its remarkable privacy, the estate is only minutes from the charming mountain town of Highlands, consistently recognized as one of the premier destinations in the Southeast. Highlands offers an exceptional collection of fine dining restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, cultural attractions, and outdoor recreation. Residents enjoy easy access to world-class golf, hiking trails, waterfalls, fly fishing, and a vibrant social calendar, all set within a picturesque mountain community known for its cool summer climate and timeless appeal. 1356 Blue Valley Road represents a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mountain estate where luxury, recreation, equestrian pursuits, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
