Remarks:
Set on 4 beautiful acres in the heart of Valle Crucis, this spacious modern mountain home offers the rare combination of privacy, usable land, mountain views, and convenient access to some of the High Country’s most beloved destinations. With 4 sleeping spaces, 3 bathrooms, approximately 4,398 square feet, multiple gathering spaces, and a flexible layout, there is room here for family, friends, and guests to spread out and enjoy mountain living. Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined lane, the property feels wonderfully removed while remaining just 1.5 miles from the iconic Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Community Park, only half a mile from Watauga River access, and just 15 minutes to downtown Boone and 20 minutes to downtown Banner Elk. Colorful sunset mountain views, a beautiful trickling stream, and a gently rolling, partially fenced yard create an inviting outdoor setting with plenty of room for lawn games, evening strolls, winter sledding, gardening, or simply enjoying the wildlife. From the covered front porch, watch deer, fox, and wild turkey wander through the property while taking in the peaceful mountain surroundings. Inside, the home's generous size and flexible floor plan make it equally well suited for full-time living, a mountain retreat, or an income-producing vacation rental. Two family rooms, each with a gas fireplace, provide comfortable spaces for gathering, while a large upper level living area offers additional flexibility for recreation, hobbies, an office, or overflow sleeping. Four separate sleeping areas comfortably accommodate at least eight guests, with the potential to sleep 12 or more by adding built-in bunks in the spacious upper-level bedroom. The home has also been thoughtfully renovated and updated throughout, allowing the next owner to enjoy the character and setting of a Valle Crucis mountain property with major improvements already completed. Recent updates include a new roof on both the home and workshop and fresh exterior paint, completed in June 2026, as well as three fully renovated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, and numerous additional improvements throughout the home. A complete list of renovations and improvements is available in the attached documents. The updated kitchen offers a warm and welcoming space for everything from quiet mornings to holiday gatherings, while the beautifully renovated bathrooms bring a fresh, modern feel. Throughout the home, thoughtful finishes and comfortable gathering spaces complement the natural beauty of the property. Whether you're looking for a place to put down roots, a peaceful mountain escape, or a property with strong investment potential, this Valle Crucis property offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy 4 acres, generous living space, beautiful natural surroundings, and a location that puts the best of the High Country within easy reach. List of items that convey available upon request. Seller is a licensed NC Realtor. Please note: The home cannot be seen from the main road. Feel free to drive down Leighway Ln. to take a look.
