Welcome to Honeycreek Highlands, a rare and versatile 22-acre farm in the Cove Creek area of the High Country, just 15 minutes from Boone. At the heart of the property is a fully renovated 1930s farmhouse surrounded by rolling pasture, fenced pasture, mountain views, a meandering creek, established gardens, barns, and outbuildings. Currently operated as a small working farm, the property is well-suited for horses, livestock, gardening, homesteading, or simply enjoying the mountain lifestyle. Honeycreek Highlands can be enjoyed as it is today with outstanding long-term potential. With no zoning or deed restrictions, the acreage may lend itself to a multigenerational compound, additional residences, agritourism, or a short-term rental buildout. Several potential homesites are located higher on the property to capture broader mountain views. The farmhouse has undergone extensive renovation, including updated siding, windows, plumbing, electrical service, roof, septic system, and heating/air. A show-stopping kitchen addition completed in 2026 opened the home while preserving the warmth and character of the original structure. The oversized kitchen features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, large windows, and custom black walnut and hickory countertops crafted from trees that came down on the property during Hurricane Helene, creating a meaningful connection between the home and its land. The spacious layout offers room for a large farmhouse dining table, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Walls of windows overlook the fenced front yard, rolling hills, gardens, and rear pasture. Double doors create a seamless connection to the outdoor living areas and large vegetable garden. An adjacent shed offers future potential as an outdoor pavilion or gathering space. The single-level home includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a new bath added with the recent expansion. Old and new have been thoughtfully blended, while wood paneling and original details preserve timeless farmhouse character. Outdoor living includes two covered front porches and a rear patio area ideal for a hot tub. The entire area around the home is fenced and accessed by an automatic gate, creating a secure space for pets and outdoor recreation. A gentle creek flows along the lower edge of the front yard. The driveway offers ample parking and leads to an oversized two-car carport incorporated into an original barn structure with generous storage. Two additional outbuildings sit near the home, including one improved with reclaimed fence wood and a concrete floor for a future studio, workshop, or creative space. The lower pasture includes a shed, chicken coop, wellhouse, and barn, while the upper fenced pasture provides generous room for horses or other animals. Beyond the established farm areas, the acreage rises toward the ridgeline with wooded terrain and striking rock outcroppings. Tucked near the end of a quaint country road just across from Cove Creek, Honeycreek Highlands feels well-insulated while remaining convenient to Boone, Valle Crucis, Watauga Lake, and destinations throughout the High Country. Rarely does a property offer this combination of usable acreage, farm infrastructure, residential charm, unrestricted potential, convenient access, and immersive natural beauty.

5 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 3,567 SqFt. ⋅ 0.58 Acres ⋅ ACTIVE Status
A 1950s Cottage that grew up right, on one of the last big in-town lots: Set back behind a wide circular asphalt drive and low stacked-stone retaining walls, this dark-stained mountain home reads quiet and private from the street — Japanese maples, banks of rhododendron, and 100-year-old oaks and white pines doing the screening. From here you can walk to shops, restaurants, the town pool, the parade route, and Bass Lake. INSIDE THE MAIN LEVEL: The tone is soft sage and blue-green throughout, with original wood-paneled walls, crown molding, and honey-toned hardwood floors that run through most of the house. The entry foyer has a standout feature you won't find in new construction KITCHEN: Features a big peninsula and island layout in slate tile counters with charcoal-gray cabinetry, a gas cooktop, stainless KitchenAid refrigerator and dishwasher, and a pebble-mosaic backsplash. It opens through cased doorways to a formal dining room and a breakfast area, so the whole front of the house flows together. THE MAIN LIVING AREA: Centers around the Grandfather stone fireplace — a rounded river-rock hearth with a raised stone base, flanked by a glass door out to the back deck. The large open room with built-in white bookcases and cabinetry and a beamed ceiling break Is connected to a dining room/breakfast area. French pocket doors with original glass panels separate the office/bedroom from the living space — a nice period touch. BEDROOMS and BATHS: Are generously sized with hardwoods, ceiling fans, and treetop views out every window. Master bath has been fully redone in marble-look tile: A double vanity, farmhouse sinks, Carrara-style counters and Edison-bulb sconces; another in a matching single-vanity layout. THE LOWER LEVEL: Is a complete second residence, and it's the real story here. It has its own full kitchen (gas range, stainless fridge, exterior door), a bright living room with luxury vinyl plank floors and a pass-through window, additional bedrooms, and its own baths. It's finished and currently rentable — long-term rentals are permitted, and the home has been leased consistently for years. OUTSIDE: An elevated wood deck wraps the rear of the house past the stacked-stone chimney, with a covered section for shade, room for a sofa and rocking chairs, and stairs down to a big, level, tree-shaded lawn.

Adding even more value, the sale includes the tractor, implements, and RTV, allowing the next owner to immediately enjoy and maintain the property from day one. For those looking toward the future, the possibilities are abundant. The existing farmhouse could continue as a primary residence, guest house, or income-producing rental while additional homes are constructed. With no known restrictions on further development and a current three-bedroom septic permit already on file for an additional homesite, this property is uniquely positioned for a family compound, equestrian estate, investment opportunity, or multi-generational retreat. Properties offering this combination of history, usable acreage, mountain views, water features, extensive improvements, equipment inclusion, and future development potential are exceedingly rare. This is more than a home—it is an opportunity to preserve a piece of High Country history while creating a legacy for generations to come.
