Just Imagine: A Home in Blowing Rock

BY LESLIE EASON LESLIE@EASONTEAM.COM

Imagine waking up in the summer to a cool morning and a mountain view. Then having your choice of going on a mountain hike, a walk around a lake, or visiting one-of-a-kind shops on one of the prettiest Main Streets in the country, all within a few minutes’ drive. Maybe you prefer a round of golf, or a farmers market?

Now imagine you are thinking about all of this from the comfort of your home, with no check out times.

It is the abundance of choices like these that make living in and near Blowing

Rock so desirable.

Blowing Rock boasts some of the finest homes in the Southeast, and is a sought-after location for second homes. With Charlotte a two-hour drive and Raleigh/Durham three hours away, Blowing Rock is a convenient escape for buyers from North Carolina, as well as a seasonal destination from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

Many buyers purchase a second (or third) home in Blowing Rock with plans to make it their retirement home, and some choose to purchase a home they can rent to vacationers.
