Located just 15 minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and moments from Grandfather Vineyard & Winery, this home is ideal for year-round living or as a turnkey short-term rental.

Enjoy mountain mornings on the picturesque covered front porch, surrounded by a peaceful, wooded setting just a short stroll from the scenic Watauga River. Recent updates include the addition of mini-split systems (2020), providing efficient heating and cooling throughout the home.
