Nestled on nearly 5 acres, this mountain retreat offers breathtaking views all the way to the slopes of Sugar and Beech Mountains! Just 15–20 minutes from Boone, this property combines peaceful seclusion with convenient access to dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. The home exudes rustic, old-world charm with beadboard walls, rich wood finishes, and beautiful wide plank wood flooring. The spacious layout includes 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, plus an interior or separate-entry studio apartment on the lower level complete with its own kitchen—ideal for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living. A welcoming oversized mudroom serves as a flexible space for an office, hobby room, or gear storage. The country-style kitchen/dining combo features a large walk-in pantry, while the inviting living room centers around a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace. A bright sunroom just off the living area (not included in square footage) provides passive solar heat and a cozy place to take in the views year-round. The main-level primary suite offers comfort and convenience, while upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms sharing a full bath. The lower level expands the living space with a family room, second stone wood-burning fireplace, full bath, and kitchenette. Outdoor living shines with a large wraparound deck, partially covered on the south side—enjoy sunrise coffee or evening sunsets. The land is highly usable and thoughtfully improved with abundant fruit trees and bushes, fenced in pasture, a chicken coop, and dedicated garden areas. Additional features include an oversized two-car garage and high-speed fiber optic internet—great for remote work or streaming. With sweeping views from nearly every room, including stunning nighttime vistas of illuminated ski slopes and the distant glow of Boone, this property offers a rare blend of beauty, functionality, and accessibility in the High Country.
