About This Home

Sustainable Mountain Retreat on 12 Private Acres – Just 15 Minutes from the center of Boone
Welcome to a truly exceptional mountain sanctuary, nestled at the end of a private drive on 12 south-facing acres with ridgetop views and unmatched privacy. Located 10 miles west of Boone, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a rare blend of seclusion, sustainability, and income potential in a peaceful natural setting.
At the heart of the property is a custom 2,700 sq ft timber-frame main house showcasing fine artisan details—rounded wood-crafted walls, stained glass windows throughout, and a stunning hand-built, floor-to-ceiling stone hearth. The home includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and expansive picture windows in nearly every room, many of which have been recently upgraded and all are low-e double-pane glass to enhance energy efficiency and light. Attached to the home is a light-filled, two-level 600 sq ft studio apartment with a private entrance—perfect for guests, tenants, or creative space. A brand-new 5-bedroom septic system supports both the main home and cottage.
Beyond the main home, the property features a charming 1-bedroom cottage, a studio/playspace, a geodesic dome, and a garden shed. Current rental income from the apartment and cottage is approximately $1,900/month, offering extra income. The land is beautifully cultivated with mature landscaping, blueberries, wineberries, a grape arbor, and a children's play fort. Water is supplied by a shared well, and high-speed internet is available in both the main house and cottage—ensuring modern connectivity in a remote, tranquil setting. Recent updates include new roofs on the main house, cottage, and studio; freshly painted exteriors and decking; new appliances throughout; and efficient mini-split heating/cooling systems in the main house and apartment. Additional energy features include a wood stove hookup, on-demand hot water, and both passive and active solar systems for sustainable living.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful family compound, an artist’s retreat, or a homestead with built-in income, this idyllic property offers a lifestyle of harmony with nature. Shown by appointment only, it’s a must-see for anyone looking to live with purpose, peace, and possibility in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
