Description

Prime mountain development potential, extensive road, drainage and well infrastructure in place. Extensive paved road and drainage infrastructure, multiple wells on property. Recreational trails surround the property and the open areas are ideal for an equestrian escape, mountain community or winery. Among the beauty of North Carolina’s beloved High Country and set on 279 tranquil acres, this magnificent gated estate boasts breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Originally built by Burell Johnson, cousin of the late NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson, the luxurious lodge is perched at a 1,800-foot elevation. Its surrounding land was once the site of the family’s moonshine operation. Remnants of Junior Johnson’s moonshine running can still be found on the property, including old stills and car parts. Convenient to a small quaint town, a private airport, many state parks, ski resorts and Charlotte & Winston-Salem just a short distance away. Featured in the Wall Street Journal.
