    What's special

    Charming 1889 Farmhouse in the Heart of Linville Creek Valley Nestled in the serene Linville Creek Valley, just 10 minutes from downtown Boone, this newly renovated 1889 farmhouse offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. With a picturesque setting, classic barn, and open land, this 2-bedroom, 3-bath home is a rare find in the High Country. Inside, you’ll find light-filled spaces with newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and tile showers that bring a fresh feel to timeless character. The main-level primary suite features an inviting en suite bath, offering privacy and easy single-level living. Thoughtful updates enhance every corner—recessed lighting, updated kitchen and baths, and new exterior improvements including an encapsulated crawlspace with a commercial dehumidifier, improved drainage, and fresh landscaping. Outside, the home shines with even more charm: a new metal roof, new sidewalk, and a beautifully crafted rock-walled back patio—the perfect space for morning coffee or quiet evenings under the stars. A historic spring house still runs fresh mountain water and now features a new cedar shake roof, preserving its storybook appeal. The property includes a barn and adjacent fenced pasture, ideal for a small hobby farm, gardening, or simply soaking in the peaceful valley views. Steeped in history yet thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle, this farmhouse is a true High Country treasure—ready for its next chapter.
