1.11 picturesque acres, this charming mountain retreat offers a rare blend of character, versatility, and opportunity. The property features a welcoming main residence, a detached 251-square-foot guest cottage, and a truly remarkable historic barn rich in Appalachian heritage. The main home features an inviting one-level floor plan accented by warm tongue-and-groove walls, beautiful oak flooring, and numerous recent updates. Within the past year, the home has received a new hot water heater, refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove, adding both convenience and value. A spacious driveway provides ample parking, while a few personal touches could easily transform this property into the mountain getaway you've been dreaming of. Outdoor living is a highlight, with covered wraparound porches and an expansive deck offering the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains throughout the year. The existing hot tub will be removed if it is not operational, creating an ideal opportunity to install a new spa and unwind beneath the stars on cool mountain evenings. The detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage adds exceptional flexibility and could serve as a private guest suite, vacation rental, home office, artist's studio, or personal retreat. The Barn was originally constructed in the early 1900s from durable locust and black walnut timbers, the barn carries a fascinating history. After being displaced during a flood in 1938, it was carefully preserved and relocated to its current setting in the 1980s. Showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and timeless character, the barn offers approximately 431 square feet on the main level and an additional 268 square feet upstairs, providing endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, a workshop, studio, or creative retreat. Planned improvements include a new metal roof, replacement doors, and fresh exterior paint as part of the contractor's scope of work. Conveniently located less than 15 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, and just a short drive to Lees-McRae College and Beech Mountain Resort, this unique property combines mountain charm, privacy, history, and endless potential in one exceptional offering.
