Description
209 Abshers Lane is the kind of mountain home that immediately makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and feel at peace. Full of warmth and authentic character, this charming furnished farmhouse-style retreat exudes the cozy mountain charm so many buyers are searching for, while also offering thoughtful updates and improvements throughout.
Beautiful original hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by rich wood walls and ceilings with touches of classic beadboard that create a timeless and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area opens up to front porch to view the sunset, while the updated kitchen offers functionality, it's own fireplace with comfort for everyday living or hosting guests.
The main level includes a comfortable primary bedroom, a large full bath, and a convenient laundry area with modern washer and dryer. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with generous storage and closet space. In keeping with the character of many older mountain homes, the upstairs ceilings are slightly lower than standard, adding to the home’s authentic farmhouse appeal.
Outdoor living is one of the highlights of this property. Relax on the large screened back porch or covered front porch while enjoying mountain views, wildlife, fresh air, and the peaceful sounds of nature. The property also includes a storage shed, fenced garden area with raised beds, and a welcoming firepit gathering space. Outdoor furniture conveys with the property, making it move-in ready for immediate enjoyment.
Over the past three years, the owners have made numerous improvements to enhance comfort, functionality, and peace of mind, including:
Replacement of the washer and dryer
New HVAC equipment
Structural improvements and leveling of portions of the flooring and screened porch
Replacement of all screened porch screens
Drainage and water flow improvements
French drain installation around the home
Septic system pumped in April 2025
Porch staining and painting
Safety railings and handrails added
Additional pantry shelving and insulation support improvements
Refreshed gravel in the drive/parking area
Previously utilized as both a cherished second home and a successful Airbnb rental, the property offers excellent flexibility for personal use, vacation living, or income potential. Partial rental history is available.
Conveniently located just outside the Sparta ETJ and near to the Blue Ridge Parkway, New River, and New River State Park, this home provides easy access to hiking, kayaking, fishing, scenic drives, and all the beauty the High Country has to offer.
For buyers seeking additional acreage or privacy, the adjoining 22-acre property is also available for purchase.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagei would just like to say that i think that certain kids get picked on and singled out because of who they are not$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.thats how its always been in alleghany county schools.the bullying needs to stop and sadly there is more bullying from some teachers than there are the students themselves.a good teacher cares about her studentsbut quite often that is not the case.if u respect them as students then they will respect you as teachers.how u approach and talk to them makes all the difference in the world.i dont know why this certain teacher has a problem with my son but according to her and the pricipal he is disrupting the whole class and driving the teacher nuts but her personal problem may have something to do with the fact that she cant cope with certain things.he has been moved out of her homeroom thank god. he answered one of my prayers about this cituation and im sure he will answer the rest.im not a parent that stands by andlets her child be singled out bullied out and treated unfairly. not happening!!!!!!!!Parent Review14y ago
