Sometimes a property comes along that has everything everyone tells us they want. It is rare, but this property is one of those.
Views, a trout pond, 4-bedrooms, 5-baths, barn, acreage and privacy, plus a guest or caretaker's cottage. And did we mention only 15 minutes to town?
This farm is on the eastern side of Ashe County and has about 8 acres in pasture out of a total of almost 20 acres. Head in one direction and you can be on the Blue Ridge Parkway in just minutes. Go in the other direction and in just minutes you are on the South Fork of the New River. Feeling like dining out or going to the Ashe County Farmers Market - you are there in 15 minutes. If you like trout fishing, you are a short drive to one of the area's best stocked trout streams. Surrounded by over 500 acres of state farm land, living here feels like living in a park.
The foyer opens to a vaulted but cozy living area and a well designed spacious kitchen with sophisticated details from the solid surface counters to the professional cooktop, to the delightful farm sink, to the quarter sawn oak cabinets.
After you take in the breath-taking views of the barn, Christmas trees (about 3000), pasture and the views through the large windows, the living room's wood burning stone fireplace draws your attention to the inviting sitting area.
Note the beautiful hardwood floors and the wainscoting, another Craftsman bungalow touch that truly distinguishes this property.
Step out to the deck just beyond the living room and you can take in more than 180 degrees view while enjoying an al fresco dinner as the sun sets over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This large gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight with custom cabinets, stainless appliances, informal eating area and lots of work and storage space.
A more formal dining area is located between the kitchen and living area.
This home features one level living with an oversized attached 2-car garage, a large laundry room complete with full bathroom facilities, a home office area, the master suite and 2 additional bedrooms.
The home office area could also be a reading spot, functioning much like a loft might in a 3-story home. Adjacent to the office is a full bath with jetted tub.
The master suite is airy and bright with access to the deck. The master bath features a walk-in closet, a double furniture-style vanity and an oversized tiled shower.
The two additional bedrooms on this floor share a Jack and Jill bath and one of the bedrooms opens to a deck.
Head downstairs and you find the ideal family room. Another wood burning fireplace is the focal point of the sitting area. This room is so generously sized that there's room for gaming tables as well as a full-size regulation pool table and exercise equipment. There are endless possibilities for this dream space.
Just beyond the family room is the 4th bedroom with ample room for multiple beds or a king-size bed. There is also a bathroom and lots of storage space on this level.
This property features a fully wired 30' by 50' barn with concrete floor, two stalls but with livestock doors to add more stalls.
There are three separate pastures which have been home to miniature sheep and miniature cows.
But we are not finished yet. This property also has a guest or caretakers cottage in the original farmhouse with vintage appeal.
The cottage has 3-bedrooms, 1-bath and overlooks pasture on this property as well as some of the State's pasture land.
And there's more...a stocked trout pond with a pine grove that just begs you to enjoy the hammock and a good novel. Or, forget the novel and declare it's time for a siesta.
When the ordinary won't do, this unique farm property is a dream come true! Offered at $1,325,000, this distinctive property features 4-bedrooms, 5-baths, beautiful wood floors, 2 stone fireplaces, gourmet kitchen, lots of windows to enjoy the views from indoors, open deck, full finished lower level, 2-car garage, large barn, guest/caretakers cottage and a private 19.63 acre setting with stocked trout pond, diverse variety of hardwoods, evergreens, mountain foliage, wildlife and layered long-range views. All of this and only minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, South Fork of the New River and shopping in nearby Boone and West Jefferson, NC.
