What if you could own a piece of Appalachian State University’s history?
In 1903, within the walls of Lovill House, E.F. Lovill, his son William, and B.B. Dougherty drafted the legislation that helped establish the state-supported institution that would become Appalachian State University.
More than 120 years later, this remarkable Boone landmark offers an equally compelling new chapter.
Now offered for sale, Lovill House Inn is an established, operating bed-and-breakfast situated on approximately 11.3 acres, within walking distance of downtown Boone’s King Street and approximately one mile from Appalachian State University.
Featuring beautifully restored guest accommodations, a historic event barn, private cottage, and expansive grounds, this rare offering brings together heritage, hospitality, and investment potential.
An established hospitality business. An irreplaceable location. A remarkable legacy.
