Situated on 10 beautiful acres just 20 minutes from Blowing Rock, this exceptional mountain homestead offers privacy, comfort, and mountain charm. Surrounded by stunning long-range views, the property welcomes you with a classic covered front porch to enjoy morning coffee, breathtaking sunsets, and the peaceful beauty of the High Country. The thoughtfully renovated farmhouse-style cabin has been extensively updated within the past eight years while preserving its warm, rustic character. Inside, you'll find rich hardwood flooring, tongue-and-groove ceilings, updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace that creates a cozy gathering space year-round. Outside, the property truly shines with its gently rolling, highly usable acreage. The versatile acreage lends itself beautifully to homesteading, gardening, outdoor pursuits, or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom of country living in the mountains. Two barns offer endless possibilities. The open-air equipment barn includes a finished room. The second barn, featuring a concrete floor, is ready for restoration and could become an incredible workshop, barn venue, or creative space with some renovation. Located just 6.6 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and only 20 minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful mountain retreat without sacrificing convenience. Minimal restrictions preserve the property's flexibility, allowing division into parcels of no less than five acres and prohibiting only mobile homes. Discover the mountain lifestyle you've been dreaming of at a price point that is becoming increasingly rare in the High Country.
