About This Home

Discover this charming mountain cabin tucked into 18.47 wooded acres in scenic Sugar Grove, NC, just 20 minutes from downtown Boone! A spacious rocking chair front porch welcomes you to this inviting retreat, surrounded by nature, trees and rock outcroppings. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stone fireplace, and a bay window. Two bedrooms and one and a half baths are located on the main level, along with a side porch for grilling and outdoor dining. The lower level offers a generous multi-use area with a gas fireplace—currently used as both a family room and office—plus a third bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and walk-out access to the backyard.
Recent upgrades include a new roof (2021), exterior staining (2020), and a new HVAC system (2023). A maintained gravel driveway leads to ample parking and a firepit area. Enjoy 90 feet of frontage on Laurel Creek—fish, wade, or simply take in the serenity. While you cannot see the creek from the home, you can usually hear it.
Looking to expand? The property offers additional build sites, including one served by underground electric, as well as above and past the home, where a logging road takes you up another 200 feet in elevation. There is also a flat area along Laurel Creek Road that can accommodate a large RV, a workshop/studio. Located just past the popular “Trash Can Falls” and less than a mile from Watauga River Road access park area. This unique property blends privacy, recreation, and opportunity in a sought-after setting.
