It's been described as a sanctuary, a peaceful place, a hidden gem, a safe haven, and it's one of the most unique properties in Ashe County. Wrapped by Appalachian ridges and nestled in a 10-acre cove forest, this cabin is a nature-lover's dream. Imagine the feeling of solitude - your escape from the everyday, yet just a short drive to West Jefferson and only 30 minutes to downtown Boone. The main cabin is cozy - refined rustic - its walls laid up of reclaimed hand-hewn, centuries-old timbers. The hearths (two of them), made from stone gathered from the property. Imagine the Great Room filled with your favorite people, the buzz interrupted only by the crackling of the warm fire. Light the woodstove in the family room on the lower level and take in a game or share a movie night. The Flex Rooms, now serving as a home gym and massage space, was once a spacious guest suite with a view of Call Creek. This cabin has a lot to give, but the larger property will gift you through each distinct season. Creeks, firepits, a wood burning oven, the “Mountain Laurel” cottage, a stone labyrinth, Koi pond, and decks galore - you’ll find your secret places and those you will share. Rainy today? Retreat to the massive screen porch and your favorite corner for some private time, or fill it with friends and family for a feast, the ever-present sounds of Call Creek always adding to the experience. The Mountain Laurel Cottage - with heating & cooling and its own broadband service - has served many purposes: art & workshop space, rustic airbnb, home office - the possibilities are endless! Words & pictures can't begin to describe what waits for you here - make this special find yours and schedule a private showing today.
