2853 Broadstone Rd. (Valle Crucis) RD, Banner Elk, NC 28604 (MLS # 261760)

Some homes are about square footage. This one is about location, history, walkability, 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, built in 1909, 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 areas. The original Mast General Store, established in 1883, is just up the road and easily walkable from the property, creating a setting that feels more like a postcard than a typical mountain home. The newly constructed Valle Crucis School, opened in October 2025, is located just minutes away and adds to the area's strong sense of community and long-term appeal. Built in 1956, the home offers easy one-level living with hardwood floors, real pine paneling throughout, central heat and air, whole-house generator, attached one-car garage, and a flex room suitable for an office, hobby space, reading room, or additional storage. The flat usable yard is framed by two large mature trees that add shade, character, and a timeless Valle Crucis feel to the property. The location is truly the star of the show. Walk across the street to Friday night summer concerts, trails, Watauga River access, playgrounds, and community events at Valle Crucis Community Park. Valle Crucis is also home to the beloved Valle Country Fair, held each October during peak fall color season and known throughout the Southeast for local art, mountain crafts, music, food, and Appalachian heritage. Just across the road, the Mast Store Annex has become a destination all on its own, home to the famous Candy Barrel, men's and women's fashion downstairs, and an upstairs outdoor department stocked with hiking and exploring essentials people use throughout the High Country. A short walk farther up the road brings you to the original Mast General Store where visitors and locals still stop to check their mail at the working Valle Crucis post office, browse the famous Little Red Schoolhouse, and shop for everything from cast iron skillets to shoes, toys, and old-fashioned candy. Few places in the High Country still feel this authentic and connected to mountain history. Easy access back to Boone, Banner Elk, and Highway 105 makes this property practical as a full-time residence, second home, or investment opportunity. Short-term rentals are permitted. This is not simply a house in the mountains. This is a chance to own a piece of Valle Crucis.
