For Sale $3,250,000
Sorrel Sky Farm lives up to its name. Set at approximately 4,350 feet in elevation, this exceptional equestrian estate captures panoramic views across three states, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee, with long-range vistas stretching toward Grandfather Mountain and Mount Rogers. The setting offers both privacy and accessibility, just 10 minutes to Banner Elk, 15 minutes to Sugar Mountain, 20 minutes to Beech Mountain, 25 minutes to Boone, and 35 minutes to Blowing Rock. Serious equestrians or hobby farmers will recognize the rarity of a high-elevation farm that provides natural cooling, functional infrastructure, and sweeping mountain vistas, ideal for seasonal escapes or full-time living. With privacy, open pasture, and generous living space, Sorrel Sky Farm also lends itself beautifully to a legacy estate or private family retreat. The custom-designed modern farmhouse was thoughtfully positioned to maximize the views, with nearly every room overlooking mountains and rolling board-fenced pastures. Reclaimed hemlock floors and solid hemlock interior doors create warmth and authenticity throughout the main living areas. Mahogany and glass double entry doors, along with expansive sliding glass doors, open the great room and dining area to the covered porch, inviting fresh mountain breezes and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen anchors the home with a substantial quartz island accented by barn tin detailing, exposed wood beams, and carefully curated finishes. The main-level primary suite features two spacious walk-in closets with custom wood shelving. Upstairs, a generous bonus/family room offers flexible space for recreation, media, or additional gathering areas. Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home includes a whole-house generator, water filtration system, encapsulated crawl space, and Icynene insulation. Equestrian facilities are equally impressive. The 60' x 48' hardboard-sided barn with metal roof includes seven stalls, a concrete center aisle, insulated tack and feed rooms, hot and cold wash area, 12' x 24' equipment storage, and four stalls opening to a 12' x 48' lean-to. A separate 12' x 20' run-in shed with storage complements two interconnecting three-board fenced pastures across 10 acres, with ample trailer parking. Sorrel Sky Farm offers a rare combination of elevation, views, usable pastureland, and proximity to the High Country’s premier destinations, an exceptional opportunity to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains at their finest.
