Situated near the top of Shores Farm II in Boone, this intentionally maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home of approximately 2,300 square feet has been carefully stewarded by the same owner for 22 years. The setting is high in the community, just below the ridge, with beautiful mountain views. This home is located near the end of a cul-de-sac, so it is private and low-traffic. The main level is easy, comfortable living, with ready access to the covered decks. The living room has vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Originally wood-burning, the fireplace is now fitted with gas logs and can be converted back to wood-burning if desired, following proper protocols. Also on this floor are a light-filled kitchen and dining, plus two bedrooms that share a bath. The east porch is the seller’s favorite spot—and once you’re out there, you’ll see why. Upstairs, find a small loft at the landing, well suited as an office or reading retreat, then a private primary suite with electric radiant heat in the tiled bath floor. The finished lower level adds a game room or den with a gas-burning fireplace, a full bath, and a tandem two-car garage. Two fenced areas include a smaller run off the main living space, with convenient access for the pups. A separate outbuilding adds storage for outdoor equipment, so that space does not take up valuable garage room. Significant covered decking wraps the home and takes in the views. A geothermal system handles heating, cooling, humidification, and air filtration, and recovers waste heat for a portion of the hot water. A whole-house generator with transfer switch and a 500-gallon LP tank keep the house ready year-round. There is also a 50-amp connection in the basement for an electric vehicle, and an Ecobee thermostat for remote temperature control. The home is being sold fully furnished, with a few owner exceptions. This is the mountain cabin you’ve been looking for: high in the community, well kept, energy-smart, and already set up to live in or rent. Pocketed in an area close to both Boone and Blowing Rock, short-term rentals are allowed, so it works as a full-time residence, a second home, or an income-producing retreat.
