About This Home
As of October 2025Tucked away on 8.49 unrestricted acres of rolling pasture, whispering woods, and a bold, bubbling creek, this modern country retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy and mountain beauty. Just under five years old, the home feels like new, with thoughtful upgrades throughout and the recent addition of a private office—ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. Step inside to find a warm, inviting layout with 10' ceilings and main-level living, three spacious bedrooms including a serene primary en-suite, and windows that frame sweeping mountain views. Outside, the land invites endless possibilities—homesteading, a mini-farm, a family compound, or simply a peaceful escape where the only sounds are birdsong. A large one-car garage offers extra space for tools, toys, or hobbies, and a whole house generator offers peace of mind. This is more than a home—it’s a place to breathe, grow, and make memories surrounded by nature’s beauty. VA loan is assumable at 5.1% interest rate. Conditions apply. Builder warranty until 2031.
