A Piece of High Country History with Room to Dream! This wonderful 1960s brick home sits on more than 14 acres in a peaceful country setting, offering the rare combination of privacy, breathtaking views, and convenient access to town. A home with stories to tell, it has been thoughtfully refreshed in 2026 while retaining the character and charm that make older homes so special. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets over Grandfather Mountain from this exceptional setting, where the surrounding landscape provides a beautiful backdrop. The home has received a fresh new look with all-new appliances, updated bathroom, new flooring, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, and newly installed high-speed internet lines through Spectrum. Outside, the possibilities are endless. A barn, chicken coop, and multiple potential building sites make this property ideally suited for a homestead, hobby farm, family compound, or simply a private mountain retreat with room to grow. One of the most impressive features is the elevated homesite just above the existing house, where expansive long-range views of Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding community create an extraordinary opportunity for a future home, guest house, or additional structure, subject to county approvals. Much of the acreage is currently leased to a local tree farmer through 2033. The buyer may have the option to purchase the trees or allow the existing arrangement to continue and collect $1,600 per year. Whether you envision cultivating the land, building something new, creating a homestead, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy, this property offers opportunities that are increasingly hard to find. Tucked away in the country yet only minutes from town, this is a truly special piece of the High Country with a story still being written.
