About This Home

As of September 2025

Discover a stunning new construction home just minutes from Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Set on 5.375 acres with mountain views, 2 creeks, and open pasture, this custom-built modern farmhouse blends luxury, thoughtful design, and High Country charm. The open-concept layout centers around a chef’s kitchen with GE Cafe appliances, gas range, and a large entertaining island with wrap-around bar seating. Custom-built-ins, hardwood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace enhance the main living space, while oversized windows invite in natural light and surrounding views.

Three spacious bedrooms each feature en-suite tiled baths with quartz vanities. The main-level primary suite offers convenient one-level living, and the upstairs suite includes a spa-like bath with claw-foot tub and a separate shower to create a private getaway or secondary primary.

Step outside to over 580 sq ft of covered outdoor living space, including a large front porch with charming blue shiplap ceiling and a rear screened-in porch with tongue-and-groove ceiling, fans, and TV wiring—perfect for enjoying the sound of cascading water from the spring-fed creek adjacent to the home.

The land features a rare large open pasture ideal for gardening, livestock, horses, or future expansion, while the wooded privacy behind the home and along the creek creates a natural setting. The oversized 784 sq ft garage includes a water hookup, extra shop outlets, and is pre-wired for a minisplit system. Additional features include multiple custom closets/storage spaces, an unfinished storage area above the garage for potential expansion, and a pre-installed generator connection.

No deed restrictions, HOA, or town taxes. A rare, one-of-a-kind opportunity in the High Country. Video and Matterport tour available. Adjacent 27.69 acres also listed (MLS 253105) for potential generational homeplace, development, or private retreat.
