Breathtaking Views. Fortresslike Construction. Abundant natural beauty and in-town convenience...this home has it all! This Deltec home from 2017 is your summer perch above Boone and its surroundings, and your cocoon against the winter's chill. With state-of-the-art energy efficiency and supplemental solar power, this full-time residence regularly incurs only the monthly minimum utility charges, and occasionally even returns energy back to the grid! With ample level and gently sloping outdoor space, the current homeowners have enjoyed keeping bees, gardening, and establishing assorted habitats to attract local wildlife. Cool updrafts and persitent breezes keep things cooled off in the summer, especially here above 4000' and when winter comes around, the beauty of living on a state-maintained (and plowed!) road becomes apparent. Expansive windows face south from both levels decorating almost half of the home with those rockstar views, and a couple of well-placed sun tunnels bring even more natural light to interior areas. Look out across the stadium, take in Grandfather, Beech & Sugar, the distinctive silhouettes of the peaks around Linville Gorge, and on a good day, the mass of Mount Mitchell off in the distance! See the virtual tour for the best depictions of the views. The oversized garage is wired for an EV charger, and could accommodate a small workshop space. The home is outside the town limits, and is not subject to any zoning or other restrictive covenants, so whatever your vision may be, it can be your reality as well. Schedule a tour today and come on up and come home!
