Some homes are about square footage. This one is about location, walkability, history, and the kind of Valle Crucis setting buyers spend years hoping to find. Located directly across from Valle Crucis Community Park and the Mast Store Annex, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath brick ranch sits in the heart of the Valle Crucis Historic District, one of the High Country's most loved and recognizable communities.

The original Mast General Store, established in 1883, is just up the road, creating a setting that feels deeply connected to the character and history that have made Valle Crucis so special for generations. Built in 1956, the home offers easy one-level living with hardwood floors, real pine paneling, central heat and air, whole-house generator, att

ached one-car garage, and a flexible bonus space suitable for an office, reading room, hobby area, or additional storage. The flat usable yard is framed by mature trees that add shade, character, and a timeless mountain feel rarely found in newer developments.

The location is truly the star of the property. Walk across the street to concerts, trails, river access, playgrounds, and community events at Valle Crucis Community Park. Enjoy quick access to Boone, Banner Elk, and the newly constructed Valle Crucis School, while still being surrounded by the charm, history, and slower pace that continue to draw people to this part of the High Country year after year.

The home has been well maintained over the years and offers a strong foundation for buyers looking to enjoy the property as it is today while also creating opportunities to update and personalize over time. Short-term rentals are permitted, offering flexibility for full-time living, second-home use, or investment potential. Few places in the High Country still feel this authentic and connected to mountain history. This is not simply a house in the mountains. This is a chance to own a piece of Valle Crucis.
