Perched on 2.29 peaceful acres just two minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Jonas Ridge snow tubing park, this impeccably maintained property offers the perfect balance of mountain serenity and accessibility. Located less than 10 minutes from Linville Falls, 11 miles from Grandfather Mountain, and 13 miles from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, this location is an absolute haven for year-round outdoor recreation. The acreage features a gentle mix of open lawn and mature woods with cleared paths for meandering, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle and plenty of space for gardening and yard games. Buyers have the option to expand their footprint by parceling out a section of the land to build an additional home or ADU if desired. Inside, the 2,674-square-foot layout is thoughtfully designed for single-floor living. Walking past the established landscaping and through the front door, you enter a chef’s dream kitchen, outfitted with a five-burner gas stove, updated appliances, leathered granite countertops, and a sun-drenched eat-in dining nook. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious living room anchored by a gas log fireplace. The living room opens to a partially covered back deck that showcases seasonal mountain views, which could easily be expanded with selective tree work. The primary bedroom suite sits separately to the right of the living area, easily accommodating a king-sized bed and featuring a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub. Two additional generously sized guest bedrooms and a second full bathroom sit on the opposite side of the home. The fully finished lower level significantly expands the home's utility, featuring internal stairs that lead down to a sprawling recreation room complete with pool table, third full bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette with a second full-size refrigerator. The lower level also provides access to a spacious two-car garage and fenced-in yard for the pups. The sellers have invested heavily in capital improvements, leaving nothing for the next owner to do but move in. Major updates include a new roof and gutters in 2020, new windows in 2023/24, and a comprehensive mini-split system installed throughout the home in 2024. Modern cosmetic updates round out the value, including new light fixtures, ceiling fans, cabinet hardware, faucets, and a custom barn door in the primary suite. The pool table and rec room fridge both convey. Additional furnishings are negotiable, making this an even more turnkey opportunity to set down roots in a gorgeous pocket of the High Country.
