Imagine driving up the gated driveway, your first glimpse of the welcoming wrap-around rocking chair porch, beckoning you to sit & take in the tranquil beauty surrounding you. This porch, with its sweeping views, feels like the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind after a day of exploring the property. The farmhouse itself is timeless yet updated, with a roof that was replaced just four years ago. Inside, you’re greeted by the heart of the home—a kitchen that marries modern luxury with farmhouse warmth. Granite countertops gleam, & a cozy built-in dinette overlooks the family room. Vaulted ceilings open up the space, while the propane fireplace casts a warm glow, perfect for gathering on cooler mountain evenings. On the main level, the large primary bedroom offers comfort & convenience, with a full bathroom just steps away. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom & an open loft provide room for guests, along with another full bath. The nearly finished basement adds even more flexibility, offering a bonus sleeping area & ample storage. Wander the property, & you’ll find a glimpse of its homesteading past: cherry & apple trees, blueberry bushes, concord grapes, & wild berries once thrived here, all fed by a natural spring that once supported a self-sufficient lifestyle. There's a large barn with a lean-to, a chicken coop, & even a heated, detached two-car garage with a potential apartment space above—perfect for creating your own retreat or rental. With no damage from Hurricane Helene & clear access to the home, this property remains an untouched haven, offering the perfect blend of peace, privacy, & potential. Whether you’re looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle or simply seek refuge in a picturesque setting, this farmhouse is waiting to become your mountain sanctuary.
