193 Riverview Road, Boone, NC 28607 (MLS # 263714)
|
Some homes are built to exist on a piece of land. This one was designed because of it. Set on approximately 7 acres with over 600 feet of direct New River frontage, this custom, multi-level contemporary retreat was intentionally engineered so that nearly every room captures water, mountain, or treetop views. The architecture follows the terrain"”stacked, elevated, and open"”creating a sense that the home floats above the river rather than simply sitting beside it. Inside, soaring ceilings, open sightlines, and dramatic vertical volume define the space. Outside, multiple levels of expansive decking wrap the home, offering endless places to gather, unwind, or simply watch the river move below. Whether it's morning coffee suspended over the water or evenings around the hot tub under the stars, the outdoor living here is as intentional as the interior. The property has undergone a thoughtful transformation into a high-performing short-term rental while maintaining the soul of a mountain retreat. Recent improvements include new flooring, fresh interior paint, upgraded decking, a redesigned game and recreation space, a new roof, and the addition of a hot tub"”all contributing to both guest experience and long-term durability. The home is being offered fully furnished, allowing for a true turnkey transition. From an income perspective, the performance tells a clear story. The property generated approximately $115,000 in its first year of short-term rental operation. In subsequent years, revenue has remained consistent in the $65,000-$75,000 range, despite intentional owner usage, storm-related interruptions including Hurricane Helene, and periods of repair and improvement. With stabilized operations and full availability, the property is demonstrably capable of returning to"”and exceeding"”six-figure annual gross revenue. What makes this opportunity especially compelling is its balance of seclusion and accessibility. Located roughly 10 minutes from Boone, the home offers immediate access to dining, shopping, Appalachian State University, and year-round tourism, while still feeling entirely removed once you cross the bridge onto the property. The New River provides world-class fly fishing, tubing, and kayaking directly from the land, and the surrounding High Country offers hiking, skiing, and outdoor recreation in every season. This is not a typical mountain home. It's not a typical river property. And it's certainly not a typical short-term rental. It's a purpose-built experience"”equally suited as a personal retreat, a legacy property, or a high-performing investment for a buyer who understands that the most valuable assets are the ones that cannot be easily replicated.
