About this House

Incredible long range mountain views from the BRAND NEW wraparound porch. Hi-Speed Internet available with Skybest. This beautifully crafted 2 bedroom home would make for a phenomenal "work from home" setting. The home is less than 15 miles from Boone, 14 miles from Banner Elk, and 12 miles from Beech Mountain. Multiple enclosures and fences along the property lines create mini-farm potential. There is a beautiful mix of woods and open pasture with a very usable 9.46 acres. The home is remote enough to feel the peace and serenity of the mountains but close enough to town to not to a burden. Abundant wildlife roam the property (see trail camera pictures inlcuded). Deer, Bear, and turkeys can be viewed from porch or hunting house set up on a cleared food plot tucked inside the woods that has produced great encounters in the past. A logging road leads through the woods to a small pond that has potential to be expanded. The barn on the property has potential to be transformed or preserved. There are multiple storage buildings on the property as well. The Watagua River is just over a mile away known for its trout fishing and beauty winding through the mountain. The home sits at around 3300 feet in elevation. Primary photo showcases the unparalleled beauty of the peak fall colors on full display. The characteristics of this property are all impressive in and of themselves. Together, they create a true "one of one" place to call home. The current owner has photographed and observed a variety of wildlife almost every day from the back porch. This is a place that needs to be seen in person to recognize the true beauty of it!

    "Great area if you dont have to drive & you can afford it. Mostly students, retirees, tourists, contruction workers, loggers, and wealthy 4th homes. Over 3,000 short-term rentals. No place for service workers to live. Very congested with roadwork and tourists in the summer. Nice weather, but it pretends to be the Aspen of Dixie. Housing is same cost as California, but no jobs."

    "I have seen the High Country change tremendously since 2010. Itt saddens me that we cater mostly to tourists & so many summer residents are incredibly rude. No housing for middle income. It is a huge issue. Beautiful views & weather despite Mack trucks, Loggers, and constant roadwork & traffic. If you are uber wealthy & don't have to commute or work, it is the bees knees as any place would be."
