This mountain retreat offers some of the most spectacular, layered long-range views in the High Country—stretching beyond Grandfather Mountain and showcasing all three ski resorts in winter. From sunrise to starry night, the expansive scenery is ever-changing and always breathtaking. A level driveway leads you into a welcoming foyer, where your eyes are immediately drawn to the panoramic views through the living room windows. The open-concept main living area features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and access to the expansive back deck—for grilling, relaxing, or soaking in the impressive scenery. The kitchen offers ample space for cooking and gathering, with full sized breakfast area with large windows oriented to take full advantage of the view. A separate dining room is large enough for any gathering. The main-level primary suite includes generous windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with both a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. A second bedroom and full bath complete this level. Downstairs, a second living area opens to a covered lower deck, with two additional bonus rooms (currently used as bedrooms), a full bath, and interior access to the oversized two-car garage. Outside, you'll find a firepit area for gathering under the stars. This home is offered mostly furnished, with select décor exclusions, and with a little updating, it could easily become a true showplace. Shooting Star Lodge is located in the established Top O Boone community, just 10 minutes from downtown Boone, with shopping, dining, and entertainment. Short term and long term rentals are permitted. View direction is south/southwest
