No one said that reaching the top of the mountain will include all your friends.

I have moved mountains to be here now.

We live in our primary home and own 2 vacation rentals/AIR BNB’s on the NJ shore and Stratton Mountain in VT, outright.

You've signed up for a mountain of heartache.

Boone is a small mountain town with a 16,000 Student population state university.

The beach places sound appealing, that's where I love to vacation, but higher cost (purchase and operational)... maybe consider a mountain place too.

My ideal property will be somewhere close to beach, mountains or some picturesque valley etc (as in the case of Shenandoah valley in VA), and perhaps has little scope for fixing (not complete run down or the foreclosures ones) so that i can get more value for my investment in the long run.

Our beach and mountain rentals are on track to do just as good, if not a little better, for May bookings onward....

Google Lucerne CA  on the GIS that shows lots and then scale in you will see the town developed on the flat ground by the lake.. then as you go up the mountain side you will see a vast amount of lots  Over 6,000 of them all mapped out.. and many streets were put in ( dirt roads in the  60s ) but none of those lots are buildable any more.. it used to be you could get 8 to 10 of them together and create a 1 acre parcel which is buildable with well and septic there might be 3 or 4 of those up above town..
