Hidden on the banks of Howard’s Creek, 171 Grouse Covert Road is a rare High Country retreat where the sound of rushing water, towering trees, and exceptional craftsmanship come together on 3.78 acres with more than 575 feet of creek frontage. Just minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University, yet surrounded by the sights and sounds of the natural world, this is a property that feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary. Cross the creek and follow the drive into the woods, where a custom-built log home emerges among the trees. Crafted by a father-and-son team, the home reflects an appreciation for materials, craftsmanship, and the character of the mountains. Hand-hewn hemlock logs frame an interior accented with local wormy chestnut, cherry, and knotty alder. The result is a home with an unmistakable sense of place—warm, substantial, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Inside, the home is designed for gathering and lingering. A dramatic rock fireplace anchors the living room, while the expansive gathering room brings together the kitchen, dining area, and space to entertain. The main-level primary suite opens directly toward the outdoor living spaces, where a fireplace and patio invite evenings spent beneath the trees and beside the creek. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a full bath, accompanied by a cozy office or playroom that adds flexibility for family and guests. But it may be the land that leaves the greatest impression. Howard’s Creek moves through the property with a constant, soothing rhythm, offering more than 575 feet of waterfront to explore, fish, and enjoy. For the fly fisherman, it is an extraordinary opportunity to have the creek as part of everyday life. For everyone else, it is simply a beautiful place to slow down—listening to the water from the expansive front porch, gathering around the outdoor fireplace, or wandering through the woods as the seasons change. A lower-level garage, workshop, and abundant storage provide the practicality to complement the character of the home. There is something wonderfully timeless about this property. It is not merely a home near the mountains—it is a place shaped by the creek, the forest, and the craftsmanship of the people who built it. Opportunities to own this much creek frontage, acreage, and character so convenient to Boone are exceptionally uncommon. Seller currently receives mail at the downtown Boone Post Office. Physical mail delivery is not currently available to the property.

This meticulously rebuilt, move-in-ready 2,369 sq ft home features three bedrooms, a dedicated study, and three full bathrooms across three beautifully finished levels. Step inside to discover high-end, arts-and-crafts-inspired finishes, including natural wood trim, stunning tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings, solid wood paneling, custom cabinetry, a cozy gas stove, and brand-new oak hardwood floors in the main living areas.

It is brilliantly engineered for today's tech needs, heavily wired with Cat 6 ethernet, Spectrum high-speed internet availability, and a pre-wired generator sub-panel. The highly versatile, daylight lower level functions as a completely independent mother-in-law suite—complete with its own full kitchen, great room, bedroom, bathroom, private entrance, and laundry. This opens up a world of fantastic possibilities: use it to comfortably host extended family, live on the main floors while renting out the lower level, or maximize your investment with short-term and long-term rentals, both of which are fully permitted. Outside, the property provides tons of parking, a massive 12x27 wood deck for entertaining, and a remarkably wind-protected setting that enjoys excellent winter sun exposure. You will also find an incredible amount of storage throughout the property, including expansive conditioned indoor storage areas and a wired exterior shed with a water hydrant.
