A classic Western North Carolina farmhouse surrounded by eight private acres, this special Bakersville property feels both timeless and remarkably modern. Thoughtfully renovated while retaining its original character, the 2,000+ square-foot home offers three bedrooms and two baths, including a main-level primary bedroom. Inside, hardwood floors, extensive beadboard, original-style millwork and a Vermont Castings wood-burning fireplace give the home a warm, authentic farmhouse feel. The full renovation included updated wiring and plumbing, while the baths feature gorgeous details including Carrara marble and a spacious upstairs bath with a soaking tub and separate glass shower. A gas kitchen range, furnace and newly added upstairs mini-split provide modern comfort without taking away from the character of the home. Expansive pasture land stretches alongside roughly 1,000 feet of Cane Creek frontage, creating an unusually usable mountain property that is ideal for horses, trout fishing, and private walks around open fields. An additional tractor shed and carport provide useful storage. A new country red barn includes a 19x11 stall, aisle with hot water, bathroom, and a heated 19x23 second floor that could be perfect for a studio, office space, or possibly finished as additional living quarters. More recent property improvements include a new septic system, well pump, HVAC upgrades, and a new metal roof on the equipment shed/garage. Follow the privately gated drive to a setting that feels remarkably secluded yet only 1 mile from downtown Bakersville and less than 15 miles from both the Appalachian Trail and the stunning open mountain balds of the Roan Mountain range as well as the creative arts hub of Penland School of Craft. This exquisite mountain property marries pastoral privacy with easy accessibility and modern comfort with historic charm.
