Enjoy close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail, skiing, golf, and whitewater rafting—making this an exceptional opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts. The home features numerous thoughtful upgrades, including a new roof (2020), a beautifully remodeled kitchen (2025) with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances (gas range, refrigerator, microwave), and an updated bathroom (2024). Additional improvements include an encapsulated crawl space with foundation inspection (2025), a whole-home Generac generator, and a well installed in 2021. Inside, you’ll find heart of pine floors, slate tile, solid wood interior doors, and plantation shutters throughout, creating a warm and timeless feel. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a spacious deck perfect for entertaining, along with a gazebo, hot tub, firepit, and outdoor shower. A natural spring on the property provides an additional water source for the home alongside the well.
