The centerpiece of the property is the custom timber-frame outdoor living area located on the back of the home, creating an amazingly private setting for entertaining and relaxing. Featuring true mortise-and-tenon construction, this space includes approximately 480 square feet of covered outdoor living space and an additional 230 square feet of uncovered decking with hot tub, complete with a full outdoor kitchen, expansive seating areas, and multiple gathering spaces that feel like a private mountain resort. The home also features approximately 549 square feet of covered wrap-around porch space, perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of the river and surrounding mountains. A 16x16 outbuilding provides additional storage or potential future bunkhouse/game room space. The home is being offered mostly furnished, including kayaks, making it easy to begin enjoying river life immediately. Inside, the home has been extensively updated over the years with renovated kitchen and baths, hardwood and tile flooring, updated HVAC systems, skylights, new doors, Trex decking, stamped concrete patio and sidewalks, updated electrical, and numerous additional improvements. The impressive stone fireplace creates a true mountain-lodge feel and is currently equipped with gas logs but could be converted back to wood-burning if desired. One of the property’s most notable features is that during Hurricane Helene, the water did not reach the residence, while neighboring homes experienced water intrusion. NCDOT currently has plans for a road and bridge relocation project in the area which, according to preliminary plans, is expected to move the roadway farther away from the residence and potentially increase the driveway/parking area. Enjoy direct New River frontage along with a convenient location just 12.2 miles from downtown West Jefferson, one of the High Country’s most charming mountain towns known for its locally owned restaurants, breweries, art galleries, shopping, and year-round events. The property is also only 2.3 miles from the popular River House Restaurant, a favorite local destination offering dining, live music, river access, and outdoor recreation. Boone is located approximately 36 miles away for additional dining, shopping, Appalachian State University events, and skiing. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being only 17 miles from Grayson Highlands State Park, famous for its scenic hiking trails, wild ponies, waterfalls, and access to the Appalachian Trail.
