Nestled in the heart of the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains, this historic 16-acre farm offers a rare opportunity to own a unique estate at 4,000 feet elevation, ideally located between Beech Mountain and Banner Elk. Surrounded by breathtaking views of Beech, Sugar, and Grandfather Mountains, the property boasts a serene blend of natural beauty with easy access to both winter and summer recreation—just moments from two area ski slopes, renowned golf courses, and pristine trout streams.
The property includes two homes: a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom main house with an enclosed porch and cozy propane fireplace, and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house. Both homes offer stunning views and privacy. The main house is equipped with a whole-house generator for peace of mind, while the guest house provides a comfortable space for family or visitors.
In addition to the residences, the land features a picturesque creek, waterfalls, and a mix of wooded and cleared areas, making it a wildlife lover’s paradise. There’s ample space for expansion, with multiple building sites, desirable for future development, multi-family living, or short-term rental opportunities.
