Property Description

Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined lane in the beautiful community of Valle Crucis, this thoughtfully updated mountain modern farmhouse offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and timeless mountain living. Take in colorful sunset mountain views, unwind beside the trickling stream, and enjoy the gently rolling, partially fenced yard, well suited for lawn games, evening strolls, winter sledding, or simply watching deer, fox, and wild turkey wander by from the covered front porch. Inside, the beautifully renovated interior is equally inviting. The updated kitchen and three fully renovated bathrooms pair effortlessly with warm gathering spaces that include two family rooms, each with a gas fireplace, a spacious rec room, and four separate sleeping areas. Whether you're preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting friends and family for the holidays, the home's open, welcoming layout is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. With comfortable accommodations for at least eight guests, and the potential to sleep 12 or more with the addition of built-in bunks in the large upper-level bedroom, this property offers exceptional flexibility as a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or income-producing vacation rental. Perfectly situated just 1.5 miles from the iconic Mast General Store and the picturesque Valle Crucis Community Park, and only half a mile from Watauga River access, you'll enjoy easy access to some of the High Country's most cherished destinations while still feeling worlds away. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint and a new roof on both the home and workshop, completed in June 2026, three fully renovated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, and numerous additional upgrades. Please see the attached documents for a complete list of renovations and improvements. Whether you're searching for a place to put down roots, a peaceful mountain escape, or a property with excellent investment potential, this home offers the rare combination of natural beauty, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable Valle Crucis location. Come experience the quiet charm, breathtaking sunsets, and mountain lifestyle that make this property so special. List of items that convey available upon request.
