Property Description
Escape to a Mountain Haven on Howards Creek, where timeless charm meets modern comfort. This one-of-a-kind property offers nearly 400 feet of pristine creek frontage, ideal for fishing and recreation, located on 3.9+ private acres, just minutes from downtown Boone. Featuring a beautifully crafted main home and a separate studio apartment, the property spans over 4,400 square feet of living space and is being offered furnished with a few exceptions. Short-term rentals permitted, this distinctive retreat presents a rare opportunity for both personal enjoyment and income potential. A brand-new bridge, completed in July 2025, provides convenient, year-round access via state-maintained, paved roads. The home’s picturesque setting includes expansive decks overlooking Howards Creek, a tranquil pond, and wooded privacy—all creating an atmosphere of peace and natural beauty. Designed for effortless mountain living, the main level features an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and classic wormy chestnut cabinetry, an inviting living room and den—each with stone fireplaces and woodstoves—a spacious primary suite with a soaking tub and walk-in closet, and a half bath. Upstairs, the second floor offers a large open bonus area, two generous bedrooms, and a full bath. The third level, filled with light, serves as an additional sleeping or lounge area, with large windows framing the surrounding landscape. Outdoor living is enhanced by a wide covered porch overlooking the pond and creek, complete with steps leading directly down to the water’s edge. The separate vaulted studio apartment includes a full kitchen and bath, ideal for guests, family, or rental use. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage, high-speed fiber-optic internet, and a gentle grade to the creek for easy access. Situated at a cool 3,600+ feet in elevation, this property offers comfortable year-round living and the true essence of mountain tranquility. The sellers note that the home has never flooded. A new metal roof over garage completed in October 2025, and final new bridge work completed in August 2025. Blending rustic character, thoughtful updates, and investment versatility, this is a rare offering—where the sound of rushing water, mountain air, and timeless craftsmanship create a retreat unlike any other.
