About This Home

As of July 2026

Discover peace and privacy in this newly updated, secluded, custom-built home on 2.7 acres overlooking the Little River in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Constructed with Superior Walls, 2x6 framing, and Icynene spray foam insulation—along with a metal roof and vinyl siding—this home is built for durability and efficiency.
The property includes two wells with easy switch-over capability, a storage tank, a fenced orchard with apple, cherry, pear, apricot, and peach trees, plus a separate fenced area great for a dog run.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious mountain retreat featuring custom cherry kitchen cabinetry with stained-glass doors, huge bedrooms—one with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and the other with honey maple oak—and two additional rooms that can be used as a bonus room, office, or flexible living spaces to suit your needs. The main floor bath offers a cast-iron tub and shower with unique water-patterned tile. French doors open to an expansive 8' x 50' back deck running the length of the home, great for enjoying river views and the peaceful sounds of nature.
Additional features include an ERV ventilation system that keeps the basement fresh year-round, a whole-house water filtration system, a Quadra-Fire wood stove that heats the entire home in winter, and a beautiful enamel Quadra-Fire pellet stove for cool evenings.
Located just minutes from downtown Sparta, this one-of-a-kind property is ideal as a full-time home or a mountain getaway. This community offers a beautiful common area along the Little River, which the new owner may access upon applying for and joining the HOA. Call today to schedule your showing.
