Price reduction- Sellers have thoughtfully repositioned the home to align with current market activity. A rare opportunity just minutes from Boone, yet offering a true country feel with expansive skies, minimal light pollution, and only one other home at the end of the road - creating a peaceful, private setting that's increasingly hard to find. Discover the flexibility and value of two well-appointed homes on 3.6 acres, ideal for multigenerational living, rental income, guest accommodations, or a small farmstead lifestyle. Perched on a knoll with sweeping mountain and pastoral views, the 1BR/1.5BA guest cottage serves as a true highlight of the property - offering a private, elevated vantage point that captures the beauty of the surrounding landscape. This inviting space is ideal for short- or long-term rental income, hosting guests, or creating a dedicated retreat separate from the main home. Complete with a two-car garage, the cottage has been thoughtfully updated with a new roof, mini-split HVAC system, refreshed kitchen and baths, new appliances, updated flooring, and two cozy fireplaces - one on each level. The 3BR/2.5BA primary residence blends modern updates with mountain character. Vaulted ceilings and generous windows fill the main living and dining areas with natural light, while the kitchen is enhanced by a custom oak island and Viking appliances - designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with an adjoining office or sitting area, a cozy fireplace, steam shower, and a new leathered granite vanity. From the primary suite and expansive decking, enjoy pastoral and mountain views -creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection for relaxing mornings and peaceful evenings. The walk-out lower level adds versatility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath with whirlpool tub, spacious den, laundry, and fitness area. With its own entrance and covered patio, it's well-suited for guests or extended living arrangements. Outdoors, the property continues to shine with extensive decking, curated landscaping, and a welcoming fire pit gathering area- perfect for enjoying mountain evenings under clear, star-filled skies. The acreage includes open pasture, a chicken coop, and multiple potential building sites, making it well-suited for a mini-farm or future expansion. Additional highlights include: Over 4,440+ square feet combined Fresh interior and exterior paint Multiple parking areas plus two-car garage Convenient access to Boone, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Ashe County, and the South Fork of the New River Offered beautifully furnished with select exclusions. A Kubota tractor is also available for purchase, adding ease to maintaining the land. This property offers a rare combination of privacy, versatility, income potential, and proximity to town- with the guest cottage delivering a standout view experience that truly sets it apart.
