About Our Dirt

Blue Ridge Realty & Investments

John Rice founded Blue Ridge Realty & Investments in 1981. Blue Ridge Realty quickly became a leader in land development in the High Country second home market, and continues its market leadership nearly three decades later. Their projects have ranged from basic layout of lots and roads to full scale of resort development. The three signature style points of Blue Ridge-designed projects are blending with the environment, elegance in a practical setting, and continued value appropriate for the long term.

Our firm takes great pride in the maturity and longevity of its agents. Charles Taylor joined Blue Ridge Realty in 1985, Deborah Kirksey in 1986, Mary Jane Rice in 1989, Edie Milano in 1994, Todd Rice in 2004, Bill Aceto and Jerry Hutchens in 2007.  Whether you are buying or selling real estate in the High Country, consider the team at Blue Ridge Realty and Investments.  Visit us at our office on Highway 105 in Boone or stop buy our Blowing Rock office at Yonahlossee Resort on Shulls Mill Road.
