    What's special

    Stacked-stone gas fireplacePanoramic mountain viewsSplit-rail fencingRear deckFilled with natural lightExpanded front porchLuxury flooring
    Completely reimagined with elevated design and extensive high-end renovations, this turnkey mountain retreat captures sweeping long-range Blue Ridge views from a serene 7-plus-acre setting. Blending the timeless character of the High Country with the comfort and efficiency of a substantially updated home, the property offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a dedicated office, a one-car garage and a full unfinished basement with future expansion potential. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light and showcases custom kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous center island, luxury flooring and a warm great room anchored by a stacked-stone gas fireplace. Two primary suites, one on the main level and one upstairs, provide exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or short-term rental opportunities. The upper level also features two additional guest bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bath, while the primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat with a freestanding soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with a wraparound covered porch ideally positioned for rocking chairs, quiet mornings and panoramic mountain views. A six-person hot tub just off the porch provides the ideal place to unwind after a day exploring the High Country. The property includes approximately one fenced acre surrounding the home, plus six additional acres of open pasture, ideal for horses, hobby farming, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of the landscape. This rare combination of usable acreage, long-range views and convenient access is increasingly difficult to find. Just four minutes from Linville Falls Winery, five minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and approximately 25 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, the home offers easy access to dining, hiking, outdoor recreation and the area’s year-round attractions. Extensive improvements include approximately 1,400 square feet of added heated living space, a one-car garage and 1.5 additional baths. Major upgrades include two new HVAC systems with all-new ductwork, a tankless water heater, buried propane tank, new metal roof, new gutters, fresh interior and exterior paint, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a fully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry and new appliances, completely updated baths, an expanded front porch, rear deck, split-rail fencing, propane grill hookup and a six-person hot tub. Note: Professional measurements indicate a 624-square-foot difference from tax records. The Certificate of Occupancy is available in the documents for review.
