Perched on a rare triple lot in Misty Mountain just outside of Blowing Rock, this charming 2BR/1BA cottage captures spectacular long-range Gorge views and offers an exceptional usable, gently sloping yard. Just minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway and roughly 10 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock, 8007 Cloud Forest Lane is perfectly positioned for weekends, vacations, or a short-term rental property. From the oversized front parking deck, walk straight into the home—true one-level living with no steps at entry. Inside, an inviting living area feels bright and spacious with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a classic river rock fireplace. Large windows frame the dramatic, ever-changing mountain backdrop, bringing the view into the heart of the home and setting the scene for cozy evenings after a day on the trails or slopes. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and custom cabinetry, offering both style and function for easy entertaining. Whether you're hosting friends for a long weekend or keeping it simple after a day exploring the Parkway, this kitchen works beautifully. Both bedrooms are generously sized, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests, and the full bath supports easy one-level living. Outdoor living is a standout. With over 450 square feet of deck space just off the living room, you'll have an incredible setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or simply soaking in the panoramic scenery. The triple lot has a gentle slope and is fenced for privacy, pets, and room to grow—space for a firepit area, garden beds, games in the yard, or future improvements. Opportunities like this are extremely hard to find; Gorge views on a large lot with usable yard space are the exception. Downstairs, a substantial basement storage room adds valuable space for mountain gear, owner storage, tools, or seasonal items. It also offers excellent potential to be built out, giving you options to expand the footprint—ideal for buyers who want a fantastic vacation home now with an easy path to more square footage later. Expansion potential is a major advantage here. The home could be expanded up, down, or side-to-side to increase the size and tailor it to your vision. There is potential to add additional bedrooms, a larger primary suite, or build out flexible space for a home office, bunk room, or game room. Sold furnished, this property is ready to enjoy immediately and offers outstanding flexibility for the future—use it as your private getaway, share it with friends and family, or continue its short-term rental use. Enjoy proximity to it all: shops and restaurants in downtown Blowing Rock, Moses Cone Memorial Park, Blue Ridge Parkway access, hiking and biking trails, golf, skiing, and all the seasonal adventures the High Country is known for. Don't miss this rare Gorge-view cottage with privacy, land, and potential—an exceptional find in Misty Mountain.
