Live the mountain dream in this charming log cabin overlooking the banks of Cove Creek just 15 mins from downtown Boone. Wake to the soothing sounds of rushing water and enjoy your morning coffee from either of the two screened-in porches, where the natural beauty of the High Country is right outside your door. Whether you are looking for a peaceful second home, weekend getaway, or full-time residence, this property offers a unique opportunity to embrace mountain living at its best.Step inside to a warm and inviting main level featuring a beautiful stone fireplace in the family room, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen. Just off the kitchen is a screened-in porch, for outdoor dining or relaxing while listening to the creek below. The main-level primary bedroom features a ba y window overlooking Cove Creek and its own screened-in porch, creating a cozy retreat where you can unwind to the sounds of the water. A spacious full bath completes the main level.Step outside onto the rear deck and experience the feeling of being right above Cove Creek. From here, you can watch trout moving through the water below and enjoy the peaceful setting from your own backyard. For the outdoor enthusiast and fly fisherman, the ability to step out the back door and enjoy the creek is a rare opportunity. Cove Creek is stocked with trout by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.The upper-level loft provides additional flexible living space currently arranged with a bedroom, sitting area, and art nook. This versatile area could easily be customized to suit your needs, whether as additional sleeping quarters, a creative studio, home office, or cozy retreat.A full unfinshed basement offers even more possibilities, with ample space for storage, a workshop, studio apartment, or future expansion. The basement also features its own separate driveway, providing convenient access and additional flexibility for the new owner.Outside, a garden area sits to the side of the home with easy access to Cove Creek. Beautiful natural rock outcroppings line the creek bank, adding to the property’s character and making the setting feel truly special.The home is being offered mostly furnished, with only a few items excluded, making it easy to bring your clothes and begin enjoying your mountain retreat. During Hurricane Helene, the home itself did not experience flooding. The property sustained minor damage to the creek bank, which has since been repaired, and one deck footing was replaced.With its combination of a classic log cabin, multiple outdoor living spaces, direct creek access, trout fishing, flexible basement space, and peaceful mountain setting, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to create your own personal High Country getaway.
