Property Description
30+ Acres. Endless Views. Zero Compromises. Ready to disappear to the top of the mountain and never look back? This private estate is the kind of property people wait years for. Custom-built by skilled local craftsmen and lovingly maintained, it delivers rustic character with refined comfort on over 30 acres of fenced pasture, privacy, and possibility. Let's talk lifestyle. A spring-fed creek winds through the property - prime for creating your own pond. Horses? Cattle? Chickens? A vineyard? Massive garden? You've got the land and the freedom to make it happen. Inside, the home makes a bold first impression. The great room stuns with a wall of windows framing long-range mountain views, a wood-burning fireplace, and reclaimed timber beams rich with history. It's warm. It's authentic. It feels like home the second you walk in. The main level offers over 1,800 square feet of effortless flow. The country-style kitchen is built for gathering - generous cabinetry, plenty of prep space, and mountain views from the dining area. Just off the kitchen, a sunroom opens to a stone outdoor fireplace - the ultimate setting for crisp fall evenings and summer nights under the stars. The primary suite is tucked away for privacy, featuring a walk-in shower, double vanity, and oversized closet. A second bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Downstairs offers even more flexibility with an additional bedroom, a bonus room currently used for overflow sleeping (but easily adaptable as a craft room, office, or flex space), a full bathroom, and plenty of room to create your ideal guest retreat, home office, gym, art studio - or whatever fits your lifestyle. A lower-level garage with workshop space and bonus storage seals the deal. And yes - easy main-level access makes unloading groceries a breeze. Then there's the porch. A covered front porch overlooking your own private pasture paradise with unobstructed, long-range mountain views that never get old. Not ever. All of this just 25 minutes to West Jefferson, where breweries, boutiques, art galleries, and Appalachian charm are waiting. This isn't just a home. It's a legacy property. Built right. Loved well. Impossible to duplicate. Mountain estates like this don't sit around. Call today. Schedule your private showing. Come stand on that porch and see it for yourself.
