    Enchanted Forest Retreat — a distinctive mountain home in the heart of the Valle Crucis area. Set at the end of Little River Road and surrounded by mature forest, this beautifully crafted timber-frame residence offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and proximity to some of the High Country's most sought-after destinations. Located just minutes from historic Valle Crucis and approximately 3/10 of a mile from the Watauga River, the setting provides an exceptional opportunity to experience the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle of the North Carolina mountains. Inside, soaring timber-frame ceilings, clerestory windows, and abundant natural light create an impressive sense of scale while maintaining the warmth and inviting character expected of a mountain retreat. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area centered around a striking stone gas fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry, ample cabinetry, and a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite occupies the main level and features its own covered deck, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms upstairs offer their own en-suite baths, walk-in closets, and covered balconies, while a spacious loft provides an additional gathering area overlooking the great room. The finished lower level expands the living space with a fourth bedroom, game room, second living area, pool table, shuffleboard, and access to a covered deck featuring a hot tub and outdoor fire feature. Outside, the wooded surroundings create a peaceful mountain atmosphere, with multiple covered and open-air spaces to enjoy the changing seasons. A fenced yard adds functionality for pets and outdoor living, while the home's end-of-road setting enhances the sense of seclusion. Whether envisioned as a full-time mountain residence, a second home, or a vacation retreat, 386 Little River Road offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of the High Country— the Watauga River, Valle Crucis, hiking, fishing, dining, and the countless recreational experiences that make this area so special. Furnishings are included, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying this remarkable mountain retreat from day one. Discrepancy between tax records and Professional Measurements
