Contact Us About This Property

Tucked behind the gates of Valle Cay, where the natural landscape has been intentionally preserved to reflect the character of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 151 Man O War South unfolds across a combined 4.3-acre double lot, offering a private retreat defined by scale, setting and seamless relationship with the land. Layered mountain views extend beyond thoughtfully maintained grounds, where curated, low-maintenance landscaping enhances the natural surroundings while preserving the terrain’s original character. Established in 1987 as a private residential enclave and gateway to Valle Crucis, Valle Cay draws inspiration from Blue Ridge Parkway, with preserved trees, native... stone and architectural continuity shaping the community. Residents enjoy access to lakes for fishing and canoeing, scenic hiking trails and gathering spaces, all within minutes of Valle Crucis, Banner Elk and Boone. The residence spans approximately 3,297 square feet and is arranged across three levels, offering three primary suites, each with an en-suite bath, allowing for privacy and flexibility. The main level is designed for single-level living, where vaulted ceilings and expansive windows introduce natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas log insert anchors the living space, creating a sense of scale while maintaining connection to the outdoors. The kitchen balances function and design, featuring granite surfaces, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine refrigeration, along with a well-appointed pantry and laundry space with direct access to the deck. The main-level suite is oriented toward the views, offering direct access to the deck overlooking the mountains, a double closet and a bath with heated flooring and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, a loft with built-in shelving overlooks the living area, leading to a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and a generous sitting area with a window seat positioned to capture natural light. The bath continues the home’s emphasis on comfort, featuring heated tile flooring and towel warmers. The lower level introduces additional flexibility, with a secondary living area suited for a game room, theater, office or fitness space. A private suite on this level includes a full bath and direct access to the rear patio, offering separation for guests or extended stays. A separate driveway entrance and access to the two-car garage enhance functionality. Outdoor living is layered across multiple levels of Trex decking with aluminum railings, recently updated for durability and ease of maintenance. The fully enclosed fenced backyard is accessible directly from the main-level deck, providing a functional extension of the living space. The combined acreage supports privacy and long-term view protection. Recent improvements reflect a comprehensive investment in the home’s longevity, including a DaVinci composite shake roof installed in 2023, full decking and railing replacement in 2023, a whole-house generator added in 2024, replacement of two heat pumps in 2021 and updated well and pressure systems, all supporting long-term performance. An optional furniture package featuring new, high-end curated pieces is available, offering a turnkey opportunity aligned with the home’s design aesthetic. Experience the balance of privacy, design and mountain living in one of the High Country’s thoughtfully developed communities.
