About This Home

Experience the charm of country living with this beautifully updated, unrestricted farmhouse set against the backdrop of long-range mountain views and rolling pastures. Thoughtfully restored and ready for your vision, this home offers a blend of comfort, character and opportunity—ideal for a hobby farm, family compound or peaceful retreat in the High Country. Inside, the home features new systems and finishes, including a new roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, water heater and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The entire house has been re-insulated for energy efficiency, and the full bath has been completely renovated with all new fixtures, including new tub/shower, toilet and sink. A Buck wood stove adds cozy ambiance, and the front porch has been redone, ideal for enjoying peaceful surroundings. The chimney has been cleaned, inspected and topped with a new metal cap. The upstairs has 108 square feet excluded from square footage due to ceiling height. While a portion of the exterior siding has been updated with new vinyl, it was not completed on all sides, leaving an opportunity for the next owner to add their finishing touch. The property itself is a rare find, with southern exposure, strong streams, a horse barn, large fenced pasture, and multiple outbuildings offering plenty of storage or potential for expansion. High-speed fiber internet is available, allowing you to stay connected while enjoying a quiet, rural lifestyle. Ideally next to the Beech Mountain Community Center and near Buckeye Lake Recreation Area, Beech Mountain Ski Slopes, the Watauga River and Watauga Lake, this home offers the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with easy access to year-round outdoor adventure. This is more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're dreaming of mountain living, homesteading or creating a retreat to share with generations, this property is full of potential and ready to welcome you home.
