About this home

Mountain living is rarely this easy! Less than 10 minutes from historic Valle Crucis, this thoughtfully updated home is tucked into a quiet, well-maintained community and offers true one-level living, three separate bedroom ensuites, an exceptionally spacious and flat yard, seasonal mountain views, and room to grow. The comfortable and functional layout offers privacy for family and guests, with all three bedroom suites on the main level, along with an additional bonus area that could easily serve as an office, den, or flex space. Upstairs, a second loft-style bonus area provides even more room to spread out. Inviting living spaces are centered around a striking floor-to-ceiling, hand-cut stone fireplace. The owners intended this to be their forever home, and their thoughtful improvements reflect that level of care. The exterior was transformed with real stone, while substantial upgrades include a whole-home generator, encapsulated crawl space, water treatment system, replacement of the water lines from the well to the home, and a new well pump in July 2026. Outside, the spacious, flat yard is a true rarity in the mountains and provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. River stone landscaping and riprap along the driveway were added for beauty and easier maintenance. The peaceful setting is also a haven for wildlife, with plenty of opportunities for bird watching right from the porch. In addition to the two-car garage, the property features a separate, fully insulated detached garage and workshop with its own loft above, offering even more space for a future studio, hobby space, or other uses. The location makes it easy to enjoy everything the High Country has to offer. Valle Crucis is home to the original Mast General Store, Harvest Farm, and Valle Crucis Community Park, where you can fish along the Watauga River or enjoy concerts throughout the summer. Even the drive home winds alongside the Watauga River, while Boone, Banner Elk, and the area's ski mountains are all within easy reach. With well-maintained paved community roads, including winter maintenance, short-term rentals permitted, and extensive improvements already completed, this home offers a rare combination of convenience, space, and peaceful mountain living.
