A rare opportunity for sustainable living just minutes from Lenoir, Blowing Rock, and Boone, NC. This private mountain retreat features a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home complete with an office and a second den. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home includes a refrigerator, convection oven, cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, two 65” smart TVs, three Ring doorbells, and three Ring exterior cameras, all conveying with the property. The finished basement offers a flex room and den, while the unfinished space includes a tool room with four Powerwalls, a storage area, and a work/craft room that can be converted back into a one-car garage with the existing garage door. A metal three-sided 18x30 carport with a storage room and two walk-through doors was added in December 2024. Furniture is optional.
