Welcome to this exceptional custom-built barndominium-style home, completed in 2023 and situated on over 6 acres of beautiful established pasture in Southern Ashe County. Offering a rare combination of quality construction, usable land, privacy, and convenience, this property is ideal for those seeking a mountain lifestyle, hobby farm, or equestrian property. The open pasture is perfect for horses, and the upper portion of the property features an incredible potential building site with long-range mountain views—ideal for an additional home, guest house, or future expansion.Built with durability and craftsmanship in mind, the home features a low-maintenance Hardiplank exterior, wraparound covered porch, and inviting single-level living. The main floor provides everything needed for comfortable everyday living, including the kitchen, living area, laundry, and spacious primary suite.
Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting interior with beautiful wood accents, custom cedar beams, cedar trim, and several locally crafted barn doors that add character throughout. The oversized kitchen is the heart of the home, overlooking the living area and featuring stone countertops, a large island, 5-burner gas range with double ovens, built-in coffee bar with additional sink, and plenty of workspace for entertaining. The living room showcases a stunning stone fireplace with a live-edge mantle, creating the perfect mountain home gathering space. The primary suite offers privacy and comfort with barn door entry, an impressive 10x14 walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower, waterproof plaster walls, and beautiful stone flooring. A second full bathroom on the main level includes a 16-jet jacuzzi tub, along with a spacious laundry room, extra closets, and abundant storage throughout. The upper-level loft provides a flexible second sleeping area, half bath, additional living space, and private deck access. The loft could easily be enclosed with a wall if a more traditional second bedroom layout is desired.
Energy efficiency and comfort are enhanced with two 2-ton mini-split inverter HVAC systems and three gas fireplaces. Outside, the property offers an impressive amount of utility space with two converted cargo storage units connected by a central garage, providing over 1,000 square feet of additional storage and workspace. Conveniently located just minutes from area amenities—approximately 10 minutes to downtown West Jefferson and 20 minutes to Boone—this unique property offers the perfect blend of mountain living, acreage, craftsmanship, and modern convenience.
