Discover the opportunity to build your dream mountain retreat on this beautiful 1.162-acre homesite in the Ledges section of Firethorn, ideally located between Blowing Rock and Boone. The property offers a relatively level and easily accessible building site, with a natural slope toward the rear that creates an excellent opportunity for a daylight basement and additional living space. Mature trees and native rhododendrons provide a natural buffer and a peaceful mountain setting. Firethorn is a gated mountain community known for its natural beauty and approximately 15 acres of shared common areas, including a clubhouse with a full kitchen, community hiking trails, a pond, trout-fishing streams, and convenient access to the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and nearby National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway. The Ledges section maintains architectural standards designed to preserve the character and quality of the community, including a minimum 2,400-square-foot home with at least 1,500 square feet on the main level, excluding garages and decks. Short-term rentals are not permitted, helping maintain the peaceful residential atmosphere. The seller has completed a soil evaluation and is currently in the process of obtaining a four-bedroom septic permit, providing an excellent head start for future construction. With its desirable location, generous size lot, natural setting, and exceptional community amenities, this property offers a rare opportunity to create mountain home just minutes from the amenities of Blowing Rock and Boone.
