About This Home

~~ Seller is motivated and welcomes all reasonable offers. ~~ 8+ Acres, Mountain Views & Large Drive-In Barn – Fully Renovated Farmhouse Near Beech Mountain Set on over 8 acres with beautiful mountain views—including long-range views of Beech Mountain—this fully renovated Elk Park farmhouse offers a rare combination of usable land, lifestyle, and move-in ready comfort. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, the home blends modern improvements with classic farmhouse charm. A rare opportunity to own usable acreage with views, infrastructure, and room to grow. The property features mostly gently sloping pasture with plenty of usable space for a variety of uses, whether you're considering livestock, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A large drive-in barn and multiple outbuildings add significant value for storage, equipment, or hobby farming, with additional structures offering flexibility and potential for repair or customization. Inside, the home has been carefully renovated to provide both comfort and peace of mind. Improvements include a new roof, expansive windows, insulation, siding, electrical, flooring, gutters, and a fully renovated bathroom. Bright living spaces, a cozy fireplace with a wood-burning insert, and inviting finishes create a warm and welcoming feel throughout. Take in the peaceful setting from the porch or anywhere on the property, with long-range views of Beech Mountain and a quiet rural atmosphere. Conveniently located just 20 minutes to Beech Mountain and 25 minutes to Boone and Banner Elk, you’ll have easy access to shopping, dining, and year-round outdoor recreation—including skiing, hiking, and more—while still enjoying privacy and space. The property may also offer potential as a mountain retreat or short-term rental, subject to local regulations.
