Nestled on 4.85 picturesque acres in northern Ashe County, this charming cottage offers a perfect getaway convenient to the renowned trout fishing at Helton Creek. Originally built in 1892 and expanded over time, the earliest tax record dates back to 1930. The spacious great room showcases exposed hand-hewn wormy chestnut beams, while the large bedroom features a classic bead board ceiling and oak floors throughout. Enhancing the property’s rustic charm, the original spring house remains intact with flowing water, though a well was installed to serve the home’s water needs. This retreat is waiting for you to unwind and enjoy the serenity of its peaceful surroundings.
