About This Home

As of June 2025

Adorable getaway on 5 acres in the northern part of Ashe County, close to the famed trout fishing at Helton Creek. This sweet cottage was started in 1892, and added on to. The earliest tax record shows 1930. The seller used it as a getaway home, then full-time while building on his adjoining acreage, then as a guesthouse for many years. Not too long ago, he embarked on a full renovation, and a list of all that was done is on the MLS for your agent to provide for you. Suitable now for year round living, fully insulated with a metal roof (new in 2012), oak floors (new in 2002), a large great room with the original hand-hewn wormy chestnut beams exposed, and a bead board ceiling in the large bedroom. The property has the original spring house, with the spring still flowing, but a well was installed for the home's water source. The cottage has porches on 2 sides for enjoying the peaceful setting. New double pane windows in 2002. Exterior painted in 2015. 200 AMP service, new panel in 2012. Fully re-wired in 2006. Replumbed in 2006 with PEX. New water heater in 2005. Septic pumped 2015.
