This beautifully renovated 3BR/1BA cottage sits on approximately 24.67 acres in Laurel Springs and offers a rare blend of modern updates, mountain charm, and abundant natural water features. The home features an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area created by removing interior walls, along with a full interior repaint, new kitchen countertops, backsplash, dishwasher, low-profile microwave, and garbage disposal. Additional upgrades include a newly tiled bathroom with heater and exhaust fan, updated electrical outlets and Decora switches (several with USB ports), new flooring throughout, three new exterior doors with built-in blinds, new electric baseboard heat and thermostats, an attic fan, whole-house water filter, PEX plumbing, LED basement lighting, ceiling fans, wireless alarms and motion sensors, and new pull-down attic stairs with plywood flooring. Exterior improvements include a newly built Trex deck, refreshed landscaping and flower beds, painted outbuildings, and a fully updated spring house with new pavers, door, window, pump, and piping. The property also features new tree and shrub plantings and a newly constructed bridge across the stream. With multiple outbuildings, a well-equipped workshop, wooded trails, and several streams running throughout the acreage, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat offers exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and outdoor enjoyment—an increasingly rare find at this scale.
