Property Description
Located just 1mi from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the property includes open lawns, wooded acreage with established trails, and a gentle brook fed by the same spring that supplies the home's water. The front yard rolls gently toward the valley, while the backyard offers a picnic area, grill, storage shed, and mature landscaping. Beyond the backyard, a south-facing hillside provides space for gardening or a small orchard, and a wide, level clearing could serve as an additional homesite. Meandering the land, you'll find many flowering and fruit trees: native perennials, 100 year old apple trees, walnut trees, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, and dogwoods.
Inside, the main level features a bright living room with a stone fireplace prepped for gas logs, a dining room/library with built-in shelves and cozy wood stove, and a sunny, functional kitchen. A full bathroom + laundry also on this level. Upstairs are two comfortable, spacious bedrooms, a half bath, and a small loft currently used as a writing nook.
Offered fully furnished (w/ few exceptions) and filled with vintage and antique pieces that fit the home's age and character. Sellers have completed extensive updates, including: New front porch and exterior doors, New HVAC & Mini-splits (2023), Sealed crawl space with dehumidifier and french drains installed, Foundation and structural improvements per engineer's report, New gutters, siding repairs, and fresh paint, Ring camera system and keyless entry.
Gentry Ln is shared with neighboring lots above the home, maintained by handshake agreement. LTR & STR allowed. LTR history available. Located just 3min from the Blue Ridge Parkway's splendor, 5 min to Thistle Meadow Winery, 20 min to downtown Sparta, 30 min to West Jefferson & 35min to Wilkesboro.
Whether you dream of a full-time homestead, vacation getaway, or an artist/writer's retreat, this one-of-a-kind farmhouse offers a timeless blend of history, charm, and opportunity to see your vision become a reality!
