About This Home
Welcome to The Hayes House, one of the most iconic and beloved homes in Blowing Rock. Originally built in 1889 by a Morganton merchant, Ogden Edmondson, and purchased soon after by Henry and Lucinda Hayes, this Queen Anne Victorian quickly became a landmark of elegance and hospitality in the High Country. Operated by the Hayes family for years as a summer boarding house for the privileged set, its walls once offered quiet inspiration to none other than Margaret Mitchell, who spent a summer here while writing Gone With the Wind.
Rescued from demolition in 1993, this home was relocated from Main Street to Green Street in 1995. A year later, it underwent a comprehensive restoration from the studs out, including a new roof, insulation, wiring, plumbing, HVAC systems, kitchen, and bathrooms, which were carefully upgraded to preserve the home’s historic integrity while providing modern comfort.
Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with nearly all of the original woodwork preserved: White Pine floors, Curly Maple wainscoting, custom trim, and beadboard walls and ceilings. There are 6 fireplaces (4 with ventless gas logs, 2 are inoperable), original glass and stained glass windows with storm panes, and a modern kitchen with a gas range. Bonus area on 3rd floor of about 600 sq ft of additional space - not counted as HLA. Heating and cooling include central dual fuel HVAC downstairs and gas heat A/C upstairs, with both systems updated about 10 years ago.
Outside a gazebo with a fire pit and television, and a fountain were added to enjoy our mountain climate. A quick jaunt to Main Street allows for shopping and dining on the new sidewalk or to Bass Lake.
This is not just a home—it’s a living piece of Blowing Rock’s story, thoughtfully preserved for the next generation.
Whether you’re looking for a historic personal residence, a show-stopping second home, or a treasured
piece of local heritage, The Hayes House is truly a rare, one-of-a-kind home.
This home has recently been repriced to align with current market trends, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers. The motivated retiring seller is ready to move and is seeking a quick close—cash offers preferred.
