About This Home

Mountain Charm Meets Modern Comfort on 1.93 Acres. Welcome to 260 Old Smokey Road — a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick home offering 1,666 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and an inviting blend of comfort, style, and mountain serenity. Nestled on nearly 2 acres of gently rolling land, this property captures the essence of High Country living with breathtaking views of open pastures and plenty of room to spread out. Step inside and you’ll find a bright, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area that flows seamlessly onto the covered deck, perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the scenery. The primary suite occupies the view side of the home and offers private deck access — the ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. Two additional guest bedrooms provide plenty of space for family or visitors. Downstairs, a spacious two-car garage and large unfinished basement offer endless potential. Whether you envision a workshop, home gym, recreation room, or additional living area, there’s ample space to make it your own.
Outside, enjoy a porte-cochère, covered and open decks, and nearly two acres of peaceful land framed by mountain and pasture views. The setting feels private and serene, yet you’re just minutes from downtown Newland, offering quick access to local shops, dining, and conveniences. Note: There is a discrepancy between professional and tax measurements - tax records include the unfinished basement in their total.
