Property Description
Beautifully crafted and meticulously maintained custom timber frame home on 7 acres in the heart of Valle Crucis. Offered furnished, including tools, this home is ready for immediate enjoyment. Exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings, rich wood finishes, oversized decks, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a warm mountain atmosphere while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, a center island, and flows seamlessly into the dining room and living room, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Large windows fill the space with natural light while glass doors welcome you outside onto to the expansive wrap around deck. The main level also includes the primary suite with an ensuite bath and attached sunroom. A laundry room and half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a loft overlooking the living room is currently set up as a home office, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility. Stairs lead from the main level to the heated and cooled two-car garage, complete with a dedicated workshop area along the back wall. An adjoining finished space expands the possibilities, making room for a home gym, art studio, office, hobby room, or additional recreation space, with plenty of room for storage as well. As you arrive, two driveways provide ample parking for guests, recreational vehicles, or multiple cars. Mature landscaping with easy-to-care-for perennial gardens complements the natural surroundings, while the expansive wraparound decks offer multiple places to relax and enjoy the peaceful, wooded setting. A detached studio adds even more versatility as a workshop, art studio, potting shed, or additional storage. Short- and long-term rentals are permitted, offering flexibility as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or investment opportunity. Located just minutes from the original Mast General Store, Valle Crucis Community Park, and the Watauga River, and only 20 minutes from both downtown Boone and downtown Banner Elk, you'll enjoy easy access to some of the High Country's most beloved destinations while coming home to your own peaceful mountain retreat.
