Rare opportunity to own an unrestricted 12.4+ acre mountain homestead with approximately 640 feet of frontage on pristine Elk Creek! Enjoy total privacy, level acreage for future expansion, and the relaxing sounds of cascading waters—all within easy reach of Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This move-in ready mountain home offers main-level living with an updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, open-concept dining and living areas with stone wood-burning fireplace, and a primary suite with a fireplace, dual-vanity bath, recessed tile shower, Roman soaking tub, and wood-fired sauna. The upper level includes a den/bonus living area, two additional bedrooms, two full updated baths with jetted tubs, and a bonus/flex room. Outdoor living at its best: a large front porch and back deck overlooking Elk Creek, flat usable yards, and wooded privacy.

Additional features: High-speed fiber-optic internet, attached one-car garage with built-ins, carport with storage shed, laundry on both levels, easy year-round access via state-maintained roads, short-term rentals permitted for investment potential! A portion of the property features a natural floodplain, adding to the landscape’s charm—home itself is not in a flood zone and has remained fully secure.
