This is the kind of mountain view buyers come to the High Country hoping to find—and rarely do at this price point. Welcome to FARVIEW, where sweeping long-range, layered mountain views, end-of-road privacy and extensive improvements come together just minutes from Newland and everyday conveniences. Tucked among the trees at the end of a private gravel road, this one-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful mountain setting without giving up close-to-town convenience. Inside, the approximately 1,188-square-foot home feels warm, comfortable and inviting. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace as its focal point, updated flooring, handsome hardwood doors and trim, and windows that bring the mountain scenery indoors. The adjoining kitchen and dining area offer refreshed cabinetry, updated lighting, a newer dishwasher, updated faucet and plumbing improvements, plus attractive wood French doors that add character and warmth. The sellers have thoughtfully improved the home from room to room. Updates include new flooring and light fixtures throughout, hardwood interior doors, interior painting, painted cabinetry, new trim and baseboards, and remodeled closets with wood shelving, upgraded clothing rods and hardware. The pantry has been upgraded with new hardwood shelving, and additional wood shelving has been added in the laundry/mudroom for extra storage. Both baths have received substantial updates with replaced showers, sinks, faucets and countertops, while the primary bath offers a freestanding soaking tub and distinctive decorative details. Outdoor living is where FARVIEW truly shines. A generous combination of covered porch and expansive deck space creates multiple places to relax, dine or entertain while taking in the ever-changing mountain scenery. Deck boards and railings have been replaced, and an outdoor electrical outlet was added to the covered porch. From quiet mornings with coffee to colorful evening skies settling over the distant ridge lines, the view becomes part of everyday life. Additional improvements include a metal roof installed in 2015, widened and freshly graveled driveway, repairs to the private road, added insulation beneath the home, a 10' x 10' storage shed, added landscaping, newer washer and dryer, replaced HVAC thermostat and capacitor, and septic system inspection and pumping. Set on approximately 0.59 acre with private well and septic, the property combines wooded privacy, useful storage and convenient proximity to town. AWD or 4WD is recommended during winter weather for travel on the main road to the home. A lower parking area at the bottom of the property provides an alternative winter parking option for vehicles not suited for the upper road. Most furnishings are available to convey, subject to Seller exclusions; see the Exceptions List for details. Whether you are searching for a full-time mountain home, second-home getaway or peaceful Blue Ridge escape, FARVIEW offers long-range views, end-of-road privacy, a wood-burning fireplace, extensive improvements and close-to-town convenience—with substantial updating already completed and final painting and trim work underway.
