Tucked into an enchanted setting overlooking a babbling creek, this refreshed mountain cottage blends rustic charm with modern updates. This cottage is bigger on the inside with additional almost 800 SF not counted in MLS because ceilings are just shy of 7 ft. Set on approximately 1.6 acres, the home features a large open lawn, fire pit area, and a screened-in deck where you can relax to the sounds of flowing water. The living room offers a wood-burning stove with glass front—perfect for cool mountain nights—while recent upgrades include: new metal roof (2021) central heat and air via new heat pump (2022), new kitchen cabinetry, fixtures, and LED lighting, fresh paint and laminate flooring throughout, driveway improvements, new gutters, and landscaping and stone accents for added curb appeal. The home is sold furnished, making it a turnkey option for an investment property either as a long or short-term rental, seasonal getaway, or private retreat. A sunny, open spot is perfect for gardening, and high-speed fiber optic internet keeps you connected. Property has more than 290' feet of frontage on Skin Camp Creek with wonderful noisy, cool, cascading water mountain water. Located just minutes from the New River, historic Todd, and within a 30-minute drive to Boone or West Jefferson, this property offers both seclusion and convenience. The cottage is surrounded by larger wooded tracts—ideal for privacy, stargazing, and enjoying nature. No deed restrictions. Within a short drive to Three Top Mountain State Gamelands and Elk Knob State Park. A 3-bedroom septic permit for a new system has already been obtained. (Current system functions as intended but may not support full-time use per plumber.) While county records list the build year as 1974, utility records and construction style suggest the original home dates to around 1948, with updates and additions over time. Broker interest. Sellers are licensed NC real estate agents.
