Perched near 4,400 feet in a gated mountain community, this gently sloping building site opens to exceptional long-range views — ridge after ridge, with cool summer days and nights that come with the elevation. It's quiet here in the way only a mountaintop can be: very little traffic, trees wrapping the land, and that high-country stillness a neighbor summed up simply as peaceful. Underground utilities keep the view clean, with no lines cutting across the sky. You're still only about 20 minutes from Boone — shopping, dining, and cultural events — and close to skiing, hiking, the New River and Watauga Lake, Grandfather Mountain, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Silverleaf is gated (a code is needed), and viewings are by appointment. In snowy or icy weather, the community requires chains on Silverleaf Road.
