The landscaping here truly sets the property apart, with substantial stone patios and paver areas, beautiful rock features, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed flower beds that create an incredibly peaceful setting. Birds fill the background throughout the day, giving the property an almost magical feel. The outdoor spaces were designed to be enjoyed without feeling overly high maintenance, with a functional layout that includes a fenced front yard, easy access to the flat backyard, and seamless flow to the back deck and outdoor living areas. The spacious covered front porch was made for slow mornings, long conversations, and watching the layers of blue mountains shift with the light throughout the day. You can easily picture morning coffee on the porch followed by afternoons enjoying sunshine in the backyard. Quiet, serene, and surrounded by nature, the setting feels worlds away while still being just 15 minutes to Beech Mountain Ski Resort. Lovingly maintained as a full-time primary residence for many years, this home has never been used as a rental, yet offers the flexibility so many buyers want with no restrictions whatsoever, making short term rentals fully permitted. Inside, the warm and inviting living space features a fireplace and an ideal mountain cabin feel with room for everyone to gather comfortably. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and includes an en suite bath. Upstairs, you’ll find two oversized guest bedrooms, charming bonus nook spaces overlooking the view, and a beautifully updated full bath with tiled shower. This is the kind of property that works equally well as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or future investment property. And if additional space is ever desired, the seller already has plans drawn for a garage with apartment above. A septic expansion has already been approved by the health department. Well loved, exceptionally maintained, and surrounded by some of the best scenery the High Country has to offer…this is mountain living the way people imagine it should feel.
