About This Home
If you’ve been dreaming of a place to truly unplug, this private mountain retreat at the end of the road delivers. Tucked away on 9.35 acres in the peaceful Grassy Creek area of Ashe County, this charming log cabin is surrounded by native rhododendron, mountain laurel, and the quiet sounds of nature—where deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors and the pace of life slows down. Inside, the warm and inviting living space features exposed beams, a stone fireplace with gas logs, a spacious kitchen with pantry and dining area, and a full bath with laundry on the main level. The loft bedroom offers a cozy, restful escape with additional space for office or storage. Multiple heat sources, including a mini-split system, baseboard heat, and propane fireplace, provide comfort in every season, and a generator adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind. Step outside and take in the fresh mountain air from the covered front porch with long-range views, or gather with friends and family on the spacious rear deck. The fenced yard offers plenty of usable space for children, pets, or gardening with established landscaping and garden areas already in place. A carport, detached garage/workshop, and additional outbuilding provide ample room for tools, toys, and outdoor gear. Thoughtful updates, including a metal roof, replacement windows and doors, sealed crawl space, and numerous interior improvements, make this home move-in ready and easy to enjoy from day one. Despite its tucked-away feel, the property is conveniently located approximately 30 minutes to West Jefferson, 59 minutes to Boone, and 35 minutes to Grayson Highlands State Park. The Historic New River is just 21 minutes away at Kings Creek Access, offering some of the best fishing and kayaking in the area. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a place to create lasting mountain memories, this special property invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the beauty of the High Country.
