CHARMING MOUNTAIN COTTAGE ON 6.76 UNRESTRICTED ACRES!
Your dream High Country escape awaits! This beautifully updated, farmhouse-style cottage offers the perfect blend of pastoral privacy and small-town convenience, situated just 3 miles from the heart of downtown West Jefferson.

The expansive, level lawn is tailor-made for outdoor living, complete with a recently fenced-in paddock to the right of the home that is ready for horses or hobby farm animals. With ample room for gardening, a fire pit by the creek, and a higher-elevation building site tucked behind the cottage (perfect for a future guest house or family compound), the possibilities here are endless.THE HOME AT A GLANCE:Meticulously updated while preserving its authentic 1950s-era charm, the cottage offers a warm, inviting layout:
Main Level: Features cozy living spaces, two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient laundry area.
Upper Level: Boasts a spacious loft bedroom, an additional guest bedroom, and a second bathroom.
Whether you are sipping your morning coffee on the front porch or lounging by the water, the melodious sounds of the creek and the crisp, cool mountain air will bring a profound sense of peace to your daily life.
