Step into an open floorplan, soaring cathedral ceilings, rich wood and tile flooring, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. Love to have your own personal serenity or to entertain guests perhaps?

Under the Covered, Wrap-Around Front Porch Two Rocking Chairs Whisper Welcome Home to Your Own Mountain View! This Charming Yellow Farmhouse sits quietly in the rolling hills with MOUNTAIN VIEWS of Bethel Community on 2 ACRES that include Fruit trees, fancy Ginko Biloba Trees, a tiny stream, a partitioned area for chickens or rabbits, plenty of garden space and an additional Storage Building. Dinners in the Sunroom provide a world-away from traffic and noise for those cooler (Elevation is 3210') summer mountain evenings. There's a small bedroom on the main floor and a loft area upstairs that could be used as a sleeping area (but due to the angled ceilings, the loft area ceiling height cannot be considered in the HLA) Previously there was a Hot Tub on the back porch which means that deck can support a Hot Tub. While this home is move-in ready, it is a small home and has some wear and tear. The former Closet to the Bedroom was converted into a half bath by the previous owners - and the ceiling height is too low to count in HLA. There are some back entrance flooring issues, kitchen flooring issues and 1 spot is spongey in the bedroom, probably from the former pipe bursting in the half bath. Seller will offer a reasonable credit for floor repair with an accepted offer. Kerosene Tank is empty and the monitor heater for the Kerosene Tank in the living room would need to be serviced hooked up. The Propane Monitor Heater in the Kitchen provides main heat adequately and there are 2 additional wall propane heaters in full bath and bedroom. There is a portable upright A/C unit that is not hooked up at this time. Skybest provides Cable/Internet. Due to Helene, Well needs to be flushed for high iron content. Septic was pumped several years ago. Roof has had upgrades and a former leak repaired. Dishwasher Door Spring is Broken - therefore be VERY careful opening and closing. Due to Pex upgrades, laundry room has a "covered" area on wall. Microwave no longer has turn table. Decks have some rotting boards. All windows do not have screens. Door entrance from Kitchen to Sunroom does not open all the way due to floor level. There are some missing cabinets door in kitchen. Kitchen Island is not bolded down.

Welcome to Honeycreek Highlands, a rare and versatile 22-acre farm in the Cove Creek area of the High Country, just 15 minutes from Boone. At the heart of the property is a fully renovated 1930s farmhouse surrounded by rolling pasture, fenced paddocks, mountain views, a meandering creek, established gardens, barns, and outbuildings. Currently operated as a small working farm, the property is well-suited for horses, livestock, gardening, homesteading, or simply enjoying the mountain lifestyle. Honeycreek Highlands can be enjoyed as it is today with outstanding long-term potential. With no zoning or deed restrictions, the acreage may lend itself to a multigenerational compound, additional residences, agritourism, or a short-term rental buildout. Several potential homesites are located higher on the property to capture broader mountain views. The farmhouse has undergone extensive renovation, including updated siding, windows, plumbing, electrical service, roof, septic system, and heating/air. A show-stopping kitchen addition completed in 2026 opened the home while preserving the warmth and character of the original structure. The oversized kitchen features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, large windows, and custom black walnut and hickory countertops crafted from trees that came down on the property during Hurricane Helene, creating a meaningful connection between the home and its land. The spacious layout offers room for a large farmhouse dining table, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Walls of windows overlook the fenced front yard, rolling hills, gardens, and rear paddock. Double doors create a seamless connection to the outdoor living areas and large vegetable garden. An adjacent shed offers future potential as an outdoor pavilion or gathering space. The single-level home includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a new bath added with the recent expansion. Old and new have been thoughtfully blended, while wood paneling and original details preserve timeless farmhouse character. Outdoor living includes two covered front porches and a rear patio area ideal for a hot tub. The entire area around the home is fenced and accessed by an automatic gate, creating a secure space for pets and outdoor recreation. A gentle creek flows along the lower edge of the front yard. The driveway offers ample parking and leads to an oversized two-car carport incorporated into an original barn structure with generous storage. Two additional outbuildings sit near the home, including one improved with reclaimed fence wood and a concrete floor for a future studio, workshop, or creative space. The lower paddock includes a shed, chicken coop, wellhouse, and barn, while the upper fenced paddock provides generous room for horses or other animals. Beyond the established farm areas, the acreage rises toward the ridgeline with wooded terrain and striking rock outcroppings. Tucked near the end of a quaint country road just across from Cove Creek, Honeycreek Highlands feels well-insulated while remaining convenient to Boone, Valle Crucis, Watauga Lake, and destinations throughout the High Country. Rarely does a property offer this combination of usable acreage, farm infrastructure, residential charm, unrestricted potential, convenient access, and immersive natural beauty. View the virtual tour video. Honeycreek Highlands is more than a place to live—it is a property to experience, cultivate, and shape for generations to come.
