3 Beds 2 Baths 994 Sq.Ft. 1.15 Acres

Description

Tucked away in a storybook setting in Cove Creek, NC, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin is pure mountain magic. Set on 1.1 acres brimming with vibrant flora, cheerful songbirds, a peaceful creek, and a shared pond, this property has been recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat -- a true nature lover's dream. Right now, the rhododendrons are about to bloom in full glory, creating a welcoming burst of color. From the back of the home you can take in the surroundings from the 12-foot-deep deck that stretches the entire length of the house. Inside, you'll find the comforts of single-level living, beautiful wide plank floors, and a cozy Jotul gas stove for cool mountain evenings. The large picture window in the living room invites the outdoors in, offering peaceful views year-round. The open kitchen and living area create an easy, connected flow, ideal for quiet mornings or gathering with loved ones. The owners have lovingly cared for the home with recent updates including a new heat pump in 2019, new water pump, crawlspace encapsulation, and new deck railings. Outside, you'll find raised garden beds ready for your favorite flowers and vegetables, and a 12x12 shed to store all your tools for your outdoor adventures. The pond--of which you own a portion--invites quiet reflection, birdwatching, or a simple moment to breathe in the beauty around you. Private yet accessible, you're just 5 minutes from the Cove Creek Store and 17 minutes from downtown Boone. A full list of the property's unique plants is available. Come and discover a place where nature, comfort, and a sense of wonder come together. There was damage to the previous septic system during Hurricane Helene, and the new engineered septic system has been installed. Information and documentation can be found in the supplements. Water went under the crawl space but not into the home. It has been thoroughly cleaned and all systems checked out. Water is from a spring that is on this property.
