Greetings From The High Country ! 828-262-1836 ext. 19.

Welcome > Local Info > Blowing Rock Information ...

Blowing Rock (elevation 4000 feet) was selected as one of America’s best “Mountain Towns”. Crampton used the term, “picture-perfect”. Blowing Rock sits at the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains with 50-mile views overlooking Johns River Gorge. Wealthy residents of the Piedmont first settled Blowing Rock in the early 20th Century. Wanting to escape the heat, they enjoyed the cool climate, slower lifestyle, and beautiful vistas during the summer months. Hello The “village” of Blowing Rock is filled with art galleries, summer theatre, fine restaurants, and boutiques. Outdoor art shows in the center of town happen during the summer and fall. Every August, the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show, one of the oldest in the nation, attracts many equestrian visitors. “Winterfest” is a winter festival occurring the last weekend of January, highlighted by a variety of fun and entertaining events.

Meandering between Boone and Blowing Rock in Watauga County is the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. Watauga County is also home to golf courses, tennis clubs, and ski resorts. The mountains provide the ideal terrain for hiking, rock climbing, river rafting, biking, AND for those less energetic – a picnic amongst the beautiful flora and fauna along the Parkway!

Here are some links to the beautiful High Country and surrounding countryside that will introduce you to the exquisite landscapes, special events, and unique historic towns in this area.

Disclosure Laws >Potential Problems

Every house has some "quirks", and some have material defects that may affect the sales agreement or the asking price. Placing a less-than-perfect house on the market is fine as long as you and your real estate agent give the buyers information on any "hidden defects".

Most litigation in real estate transactions involves the buyer suing the seller for failure to disclose a problem. Whether it is a leaky roof, dry rot, plumbing or heating problems, or a wet basement, most courts do not apply the "let the buyer beware" rule to real estate transactions. Even if the buyers had a structural inspection and you sold the property "as is," you may be held responsible for undisclosed defects.

Sellers have an obligation to disclose both obvious and hidden defects. Courts have not been sympathetic to sellers who have lived in a house and are in a position to know what works and what doesn't, but do not fully reveal the facts. This is one area where honesty is the only policy. Ask your agent for help if you are unclear about any aspects of the disclosure form.
