Welcome to 304 Jones Moretz Road—an exceptional blend of rustic charm, thoughtful design and modern convenience, just minutes from Boone and the best of North Carolina’s High Country. This fully furnished, turnkey log cabin retreat rests on 1.03 acres of usable land, offering long-range mountain views, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and the flexibility to enjoy as a private residence, vacation escape or short-term rental investment. Note: Discrepancy between professional measurements and tax record. Tax records are higher, possibly from counting unfinished storage area in basement. Crafted for comfort and connection, the home features over 3,000 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a fourth sleeping area configured as a bunk room. Permitted as a three-bedroom septic system, the layout easily accommodates multiple families, guests or rental groups. The main level welcomes you with an expansive eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances, and warm wood finishes throughout. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams frame the beautiful stone fireplace in the great room—creating a gathering space that is equally cozy and dramatic. The open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings by the fire. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a rare two-story deck design that maximizes views and functionality. The main-level wraparound deck—partially covered—invites year-round enjoyment, while the lower-level terrace opens from the walk-out basement and offers another opportunity to relax or entertain while taking in the sweeping Blue Ridge backdrop. A hot tub, fire pit, and open yard space expand your options for outdoor enjoyment across the seasons. Whether you are hosting friends, vacation guests, or creating lasting memories with loved ones, the property is designed with flexibility in mind. The home’s location provides quick access to Boone, the Greenway Trail, downtown restaurants, shopping, hiking, and seasonal attractions such as ski resorts and mountain festivals. High-speed internet, ample parking, and modern updates make it move-in ready, while the configuration and amenities lend themselves naturally to short-term vacation rental success. With timeless log cabin appeal and benefit of recent renovations, 304 Jones Moretz Road offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and investment potential. Whether as a full-time residence, mountain escape or income-producing asset, this is your chance to experience the High Country lifestyle at its finest—all just moments from the heart of Boone.
