Welcome to life in the beautiful Cove Creek Valley! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch has been home to the same owner for 20 years, and it's easy to see why they love calling this beautiful valley home. Surrounded by rolling mountains and picturesque farmland, the setting is truly something special.
Inside, you'll find comfortable one-level living, abundant natural light, and a long list of recent updates. Renovations include new electrical, plumbing, insulation, cabinetry, appliances, flooring, and mini-split units. A propane fireplace adds a cozy touch, with an electric heat pump and ductless mini splits providing additional heating and cooling options.
Outside, there's plenty of room to enjoy mountain living! Spend your mornings taking in the valley and mountain views from the deck beneath the pergola, put your green thumb to work in the yard, or let your four-legged friends enjoy the fenced dog area. An unfinished basement provides abundant storage space, and a new septic system adds to the list of improvements.
The property is located in a designated floodplain and underwent renovation following flooding from Hurricane Helene in 2024. Flood insurance will be required for most financed purchases. Buyers can take comfort knowing the home has been professionally evaluated by a structural engineer, with no structural concerns identified.
All of this is tucked into the scenic Sugar Grove community, less than 5 minutes from the Cove Creek Store, 10 minutes from Valle Crucis, and 15 minutes from downtown Boone. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or mountain getaway this sweet home has so much to offer! The breathtaking valley views, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable sunsets truly make this property special.
