This charming home and 23.5 acres are a dream come true for a buyer seeking to own their own mountain cove. Not only will you own almost everything your eyes see, you also will be treated to daily stunning sunrises over Three Top Mountain. The home was custom built in 1987, with high quality materials that have well stood the test of time. You'll be surprised as you walk through the home with unexpected delights -- stained glass windows, a chimney built under the direction of local artist Lowell Hayes, many energy efficient features built in such as a basement greenhouse kept warm by a bank of windows and water drums that retain the day's warmth, roof panels designed to heat water. The home has cheery, light-and-bright spaces with east and south facing windows that stream in light and absorb the day's warmth. The sunroom opens to the living room, creating more warmth and abundance of light. Throughout the home the surrounding southern hardwood forest seems to slip right into the home from all windows. The long range view of Three Top Mountain strikes you from many areas of the home. A viewing platform outside the 4th bedroom is designed for relishing Three Top Mountain sunrises, coffee in hand and dear friend to share it with. Over the years the owners have wrapped the home in bright abundant color with extensive well established native bedding plants. Bird and butterfly lovers will enjoy these bountiful visitors to the plants. A creek runs down the cove through the middle of the property, a potential pond source, if interested. An existing large barn offers the possibility of garage space, or storage for your equipment to enjoy the nearby north branch of the New River. A short 30-minute drive from Boone brings you to the bucolic countryside the cove lies in. Purchase this property for your true getaway from the noise and busyness of life. You'll discover tranquility and beauty surrounds you.
