LOCK & LEAVE LIFESTYLE: guarded/ gated 24/7 where else can one find the central location. Thankfully post H. Helene electric/water restored w/in days; unlike most of Hound Ears took closer to 2 weeks. The cabin sits on a fairly flat lot surrounded by large beautiful boulders, immerse yourself in nature while being a hop skip from the clubhouse where you can walk easily to the golf course,dining. The famous one & only original Daniel Boone Cabin is on the market, Glenn Causey the actor of Daniel Boone owned this cabin during his tenure at Horn in the West. A true cabin is what everyone wants, living in the gates of Hound Ears provides a picture perfect postcard photo of the golf course as you enter is a big plus for property values. Hound Ears is Watauga County's ONLY Country Club; gated 24 hr security centrally equidistant to Blowing Rock, Boone & Banner Elk. Canopied in a tree like setting the home is ‘not too big, not too small, just right’, a perfect sanctuary for a couple looking to getaway from the hustle bustle & enjoy the cool summers. The walkway to the cabin was rebuilt in flagstone with intricate grout work boasting a sun shower. When the cabin was rebuilt all the walls & under roof has insulated roof panels additionally the wood shingles are pressure treated, other A-frames may not have these upgrades.The ceilings are finished in wood T&G, floors are wood/tile/carpet, countertops are granite. 1 bedroom/ bath/washer/ dryer/ kitchen/ dining/ living room on main; upstairs offers 2 bdrm, 1 bath, a loft offers a 4th sleeping area. Rare to find a home on sewer (not septic) in Hound Ears, you will have an item for sewer on your water bill, can add on bedrooms/living area if desired. A short drive from security and in walking distance to the clubhouse & golf course, we have the mountain cabin setting and appeal, nostalgia, large boulders. Please do your diligence on STR restrictions, less STR means more privacy, country club lifestyle isn’t a rental community. Expand your lifestyle to the outdoors, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful flattish lot in walk to distance to the clubhouse surrounded with beautiful boulders in the most idyllic setting, this property sparkles like a firefly!
