Description

This well-maintained property is a one-of-a-kind mountain getaway in the highly desirable historic Cove Creek community. Envision your idyllic weekend family retreat, well-located refuge for retirement or aging parents, or a distinctive rental! This fully furnished, charming, creek side, cottage sleeps 6 to 8 with two large bedrooms plus a loft. Energy efficient upgrades include insulation, storm doors, HVAC, and appliances. The recently updated kitchen offers custom maple cabinets, illuminated display shelves and other built-ins, all hand-crafted by a local artisan at Cove Creek Woodworks. The spacious, private backyard extends across both banks and along over 500 feet of the hatchery-supported trout stream professionally restored and engineered to optimize vegetation, water flow, and fish habitat. You might watch the sunrise from the upstairs covered porch with a cup of coffee, and later enjoy a peaceful sunset over Snake Mt. and Rich Mt. sitting in the arbor, or by the firepit next to the creek. This property is at 2700 ft elevation, with long range views of ridges over 5, 000 ft. A short five-minute walk from the front door, you will find a surprising variety of amenities: the historic Cove Creek School featuring pickleball and tennis courts, walking track, gym, picnic shelters, acupuncture clinic, non-profit daycare, Doc Watson Museum, and live bluegrass at the annual Doc and Rosa Lee Watson Music Fest. The neighboring vibrant Western Watauga Community Center affords daily lunches, craft and exercise classes, voting, and seasonal health clinics. Cycling enthusiasts will enjoy a variety of almost year-round riding options in bike-friendly Cove Creek valley and beyond, from casual spins to hill climbs, group rides to competitive events. Situated along a private road in a central location away from the hustle and bustle of town but yet minutes away from many High-Country attractions!
