Glade Valley, NC
Offered for sale at $849,900
Wild Hare Retreat offers a rare chance to acquire a meticulously reimagined 1895 Blue Ridge estate with an established 18-year history as a seasonal Bed & Breakfast. Set on ±2 private acres of pristine mountain landscape, this timeless property blends historic character with refined modern craftsmanship, creating an exceptional guest experience and a standout investment for aspiring or seasoned innkeepers.
Rebuilt from the studs between 2006–2008, the residence features 7 spacious bedrooms and 4 well-appointed baths, thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and effortless hosting. The inviting open kitchen–living–dining area serves as the heart of the home, ideal for shared meals and guest gatherings. A charming den with a custom bar and gas-log fireplace adds warmth and character, while a dedicated game room enhances the entertainment appeal for group stays and retreat guests.
Wide covered porches on the front and side offer serene vantage points for morning coffee, evening relaxation, and year-round mountain views—an essential draw for B&B travelers seeking quiet, scenic escapes. A large unfinished basement provides an opportunity for a workshop, fitness area, and abundant storage, with potential for future expansion or owner-use space.
The grounds elevate Wild Hare Retreat into a true mountain sanctuary. Guests enjoy a stocked trout pond, two flowing creeks, two RV parking sites, a greenhouse, multiple garden areas, and lush usable land framed by mature trees and fresh mountain air. Modern systems—including updated electric, plumbing, insulation, siding, roof, flooring, tankless propane water heater, and a new private well—ensure reliability and comfort for both guests and owners.
Perfectly positioned near boutique wineries, renowned hiking trails, premier trout fishing, and charming mountain towns, the property offers an ideal blend of seclusion and convenience. With only two families owning it since 1895, Wild Hare Retreat stands as a legacy Blue Ridge estate ready to welcome its next steward—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a proven B&B, a retreat-ready sanctuary, or a boutique hospitality venture.
