Discover Morganton Real Estate
Situated right across the lake from the city of Blue Ridge, Morganton is a quiet community with a lot of the same qualities and amenities of the aforementioned area. Outdoor enthusiasts and those searching for their dream forest escape consider Morganton an excellent option, and the real estate market is just as hot.
Like Blue Ridge, Morganton is notable for its beautiful cabin homes, with some of the most exclusive properties being located right on the lakefront. Despite this city’s size, there are many waterfront homes in this area, for Lake Blue Ridge is over 3,000 acres in size. Morganton is also located within the renowned mountains and national forests of the area.
The Morganton real estate market is overwhelmingly single-family homes, although there will occasionally be a condo (small or mid-size, as typical of the area) available for purchase. In regards to architecture, homes are primarily built in the famous cabin styles (some of which are more modern and some more traditional) as well as the occasional ranch, Craftsman, or traditional brick home.
Price ranges on available properties in this city, from the $400,000s all the way up to the multi-millions. Lower priced properties can be both new construction and older homes, and even the most desirable cabin styles can be found at this price point. Square footage ranges, as well, and it is not uncommon for homes in the $400,000–$500,000 range to have upwards of 2,000 square feet and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. These properties are often located east from the downtown area and the lake, which might be ideal for those searching for private, mountain homes in the forest.
Mountain homes and lakefront homes for sale are often priced higher. These luxury cabins offer some of the best views in the area, with those on the mountainside being built on an overlook, often with large, floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around porches. Waterfront homes may also be built on the hillside, with pathways down to private docks, or in the forest on the riverfront. Luxury homes for sale in Morganton typically put a modern twist on the rustic log cabin design, and feature fireplaces, exposed beams, wood flooring, outdoor entertaining spaces, and sometimes even in-home saunas.
