Turnkey, furnished and lakefront—265 Trout Lake Road offers the ultimate High Country retreat in Powder Horn Mountain, just minutes from Boone, Blowing Rock and everything the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. This updated mountain escape is ideally on a private 1.2-acre double lot, recombined to ensure only one POA fee, with expansive lake frontage, wooded privacy and calming sound of a nearby stream. Enjoy every season from the covered porch overlooking scenic Trout Lake or cast a line off your deck before warming up by the fire pit. With fiber internet and central air, the home offers modern comfort in a rustic setting—ideal for full-time living, a seasonal getaway or an investment as a short- or long-term rental. The main-level design includes three bedrooms and two baths, including a lakeside primary suite with en-suite bath and direct porch access. The kitchen features updated appliances and a breakfast bar that opens into a dining area with lake views. A stone fireplace—fitted with gas log inserts but easily returned to wood-burning—anchors the spacious living room, which also includes space for a game table or reading nook. Recent improvements include new carpet in the bedrooms, water heater, washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave, central air, heat pump, PEX plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel and high-speed fiber internet. The ample driveway ensures easy access and guest parking. Within the gates of Powder Horn Mountain, enjoy amenities including a renovated clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, trout fishing, hiking trails, chapel and campground. The gated entry is monitored. Though lakeside, the property is not in a floodplain and has no history of flood damage, according to the owner. Peaceful, well-appointed and ready to enjoy, this rare offering combines nature, comfort and investment potential in one of the High Country’s charming and amenitized communities.
