Property Description
Step back in time—without sacrificing modern comfort—in this renovated circa 1879 estate set on nearly 4 level acres with +/-500 feet of frontage on Big Helton Creek, one of Ashe County's most scenic stocked trout streams. This one-of-a-kind property offers the rare blend of Southern charm and upscale living in North Carolina's High Country. Stately white columns and towering sugar maples welcome you home. Inside, rich original details shine—9-foot ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, Rumford-style fireplaces, antique glass, and oak & poplar floors throughout. Yet, every room has been thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle, including radiant and baseboard water heating, mini-splits for year-round efficiency, and a chef-ready kitchen with granite countertops, gas range, and stainless appliances. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful escape, while upstairs features three spacious bedrooms, a bonus room, and multiple decks overlooking lush gardens and the flowing creek—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Outside, the property unfolds like a storybook: curated landscaping, grapevines, an apple orchard, and wide green lawns ideal for entertaining or simply breathing it all in. A 5-bay steel garage/workshop provides room for hobbies, storage, or future plans. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, elegant retreat, or luxury vacation rental, this is more than a home—it's a legacy property offering history, soul, and stunning natural beauty.
