Tucked among the trees on 2.85 beautifully wooded acres, In The Trees offers the perfect blend of mountain charm, privacy, thoughtful updates, and investment potential. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is an established Airbnb favorite, boasting an impressive 4.99-star rating from 337 reviews. Whether you envision a full-time mountain residence, a peaceful vacation getaway, or a proven short-term rental, this High Country property offers the flexibility to make it your own.
Lovingly updated by the current owners, the home blends timeless mountain character with an emphasis on efficiency and comfort. Original framing has been furred out to accommodate additional insulation, with plywood sheathing and Tyvek weather protection. Eastern hemlock siding, rough-sawn exterior trim, Pella windows, and a painted metal roof complement the home's mountain setting. Inside, half-inch drywall walls throughout pair with tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, while prefinished hardwood & tile provide durable & attractive flooring.
Significant foundation improvements offer additional peace of mind. The rear block foundation wall was excavated, straightened, and reinforced with solid concrete, along with a six-inch footer drain, gravel, waterproofing, and drainage membrane. The basement has remained dry for approximately 20 years. The front foundation wall was also replaced with a framed wall featuring two window openings and two door openings, finished with Hardie board siding, pine batten siding, and stucco below.
Set well back on the property, the home enjoys the natural beauty of mature rhododendrons and mountain laurels, creating a sense of year-round privacy. Two separate driveways provide convenient access from a state-maintained paved road, with the upper driveway added during the foundation improvements approximately 20 years ago. Both driveways get excellent winter sun, helping snow and ice melt faster. Winter brings mountain views across nearby ridges, while beautiful sunsets add another layer of High Country appeal.
Conveniently situated near Boone, Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Foscoe, and the many outdoor adventures, dining destinations, and attractions that make the High Country so special, this property puts mountain living within easy reach. Located in the coveted Blowing Rock school district.
