These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in High Country, North Carolina for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together they came to $7.065 million. Four of the homes are in Watauga County and one is in Avery County. Four are single-family homes and one is a condominium, and the settings run from a mountain golf community to a small-town main street to open pasture.
Blowing Rock had two of the five sales, which together came to $2,475,000. Linville, Vilas and Boone had one each.
No. 1 — $2,450,000 · 1031 Ridge Drive, Linville, North Carolina
The top sale of the week came from Linville Ridge, the gated community in Linville, where a Mountain-style home on 1.74 acres sold for $2,450,000. Built in 2006, it is the newest of the five homes, and it has views of Grandfather Mountain.
The home is finished in stone and wood siding and is laid out on a single story. Vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace that runs on propane, and large windows open the rooms to the mountains, and outdoor living spaces take in the same views. There are 3,750 square feet, with three bedrooms and five bathrooms: four full baths and one half bath. A heated, attached two-car garage sits with the home, which is convenient to the community’s front gate.
Linville Ridge members have a golf course and a swimming pool, along with courts for tennis and pickleball. The community also has a fitness center with a spa, several dining venues and a calendar of social events. The property last sold in 2021 for $1.651 million.
Joshua Aldridge of Linville Ridge Mountain Properties and Natalie Earnhardt, also of Linville Ridge Mountain Properties, were the listing agents. Earnhardt also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale that ranked first for the week.

Honeycreek Highlands is a 22-acre farm in Vilas, in the Cove Creek area, just 15 minutes from Boone. Its farmhouse, built in 1934, is the oldest of the five homes, and it sold for $1,140,000. The property is run today as a small working farm, with pasture, gardens, barns and outbuildings around the home and mountain views beyond.
The farmhouse has been extensively renovated, and a kitchen addition finished in 2026 opened up the original structure. The new kitchen is oversized, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and large windows. Its countertops are custom black walnut and hickory, cut from trees on the property that came down during Hurricane Helene. Wood paneling and original details remain in the older rooms.
The single-level home has 1,721 square feet, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them a new bath built with the addition. Windows look across the fenced front yard, the gardens and the rear pasture, and double doors lead out to the outdoor living areas and a large vegetable garden.

An automatic gate opens to the fenced area around the home, and a creek runs along the lower edge of the front yard. An original barn now shelters an oversized carport and storage. The lower pasture has a shed, a chicken coop, a wellhouse and a barn, and the upper pasture is fenced with room for horses. Above the farm areas, the land climbs toward the ridgeline through woods and rock outcroppings. The farm is near the end of a country road, across from Cove Creek. The property last sold in 2024 for $609,000.
