Elk Knob Mountain is the 2nd highest peak at 5520' in Watauga County, (Boone) North Carolina. Elk Knob Estate is 63 acres at the top of the south slope of the mountain. The west, north, and east slopes are state park, and conservation land which can never be developed. Any future development to the south would be down slope, 1/2 mile away, and invisible. This is truly a unique property covered in pristine, untouched forest, with 100 year old hardwoods gnarled by the wind. The site for your castle is already prepared at an elevation of 5, 080. Pictures can not do justice to the spectacular beauty here. You must see it for yourself. Majestic layered views of all the major mountains to the south and west, including Grandfather mountain and even Mount Mitchell on a clear day. At this height the world is silent. All you hear is the wind. Best of all, this property is 10 minutes from shopping and services in Boone. Elk Knob Estate is the ultimate in privacy for your lifestyle. When the rest of the world is 90 degrees it is 70 here with no humidity. To visit, follow Highway 194 north from Boone for 4.3 miles. Turn left on Meat Camp road and go 3.1 miles to Henry Winebarger Rd. Turn right, go .1 mile, turn right on Elk Knob Rd and go .9 mile. At the fork, go left onto your private road and follow it .8 mile to the top. If you visit, be sure to have a 4WD vehicle. The road is good, but steep.
