BIG opportunity here! Privacy abounds on this very unique mountain property located just minutes from both Blowing Rock and Boone! Sellers have made major updates throughout and designed this spectacular 1981 cottage into a "King's Hunting Lodge" with thoughtful renovations and distinctive additions and fixtures (please see list of seller updates in MLS attachments). Main level includes gorgeous living room with cathedral ceiling, classic stone fireplace with Glacier Bay vintage woodstove, and hardwoods ... renovated chef's kitchen is spectacular and spills into both a breakfast nook and a dining room/sunroom ... and primary bedroom en-suite with adjacent parlor/stone fireplace is cozy and romantic. Upstairs loft includes two bedrooms with "Jack-n-Jill" bath, and lower level boasts additional living/sleeping areas and secondary kitchen and laundry, which has been used as a "mother-in-law" suite with separate entrance. On the exterior, enjoy multiple porches and patios, firepit, a "hammock sanctuary" amidst the rhododendron, vegetable and flower gardens, and many walking trails. The nearly 2-acre lot even boasts a creek/stream and sellers claim well water is "best they've ever tasted!" Home is a must-see! Only 5 minutes from Boone and Trout Lake/Cone Park trails ... 10 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock! All fixtures, custom chandeliers, and draperies will remain; other furnishings are for sale and can remain if buyer is interested in purchasing. Payne Branch Road is currently under-construction and State of NC anticipates brand-new PAVED road to be completed by March 2026. Both short-term and long-term rentals allowed; lower level has been used as a separate rental from main house in the past.
