What a way, to get away! This beautiful, secluded, and very well-appointed country farmhouse feels like it’s miles from anywhere, when in reality… it’s 8 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway, approximately 20 minutes to Boone, 30 minutes to Blowing Rock, and just a short drive to West Jefferson or Wilkesboro.
Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming farmhouse has over 1000 linear feet of a pristine, state-stocked trout stream, known as Elk Creek, running through the pristine 2.5 acres.
Endless opportunities await you on the farm. Casting your line for that trophy trout, splashing in the swimming holes, hiking, cycling, playing croquet or horseshoes, even catching fireflies at dusk on a summer’s eve.
When you’re ready to venture away from the farm, you’re at the foot of the High Country. To your left, Boone, Blowing Rock, & Banner Elk. To your right, is the charming town of West Jefferson & Wilkesboro. Antiquing, Tweetsie Railroad, ski resorts, horseback riding, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, the original Mast General Store of Valle Crucis, a Tanger Outlet Mall, and Moses Cone Estate are all within a short drive.
When all the activities have worn you out, there’s nothing better than rocking away the time on the porch’s rockers, or perhaps a nap in the hammock by the creek would soothe your soul. This is truly a place to drop out of the hustle & bustle and tune in to nature. Where deep breaths of fresh mountain air clear your mind and relax your body. Come feel this relaxation for yourself!
