Turnkey mountain homestead on over 22 acres in a private setting. Plenty of established raised beds for home gardening and space for bees, flowers, fruit trees and more. A detached outbuilding and garage are ideal for a man cave, or use it for your woodshop, tools and to store your tractor. Collect your eggs from the small lean-to structure adjacent to the gardens that can easily be converted into a chicken coop. Forest lands provide plentiful hardwood logs for the hearth. In place are heirloom apple trees, blueberry bushes, blackberry vines, hundreds of daffodil bulbs, English primrose, hostas, lilies, daisies and herbs including thyme, oregano and chives. Start your plants from seed with the grow tent and grow lights. Wood-splitter and apple press remain. Tapped a spring near the house. A potential hilltop homesite would have extraordinary views. Furnished home features three bedrooms, three baths, a separate entry bonus room, a living area with a stone wood-burning fireplace, a kitchen with custom-made cabinets, two laundry areas, one for gardening/dog bedding, the other for household use, and a cozy mudroom with a wood stove. Rinnai on-demand water heater and HVAC installed in 2024. Multiple decks. This home has not been used as rental property, as it has been lovingly enjoyed as a part-time family residence. Views from the residence can be greatly enhanced with tree trimming. An all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. In driving distance to Watauga Lake, Boone and Banner Elk.
