3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 2,326 SqFt. ⋅ 0.59 Acres ⋅ ACTIVE Status
Situated near the top of Shores Farm II in Boone, this intentionally maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home of approximately 2,300 square feet has been carefully stewarded by the same owner for 22 years. The setting is high in the community, just below the ridge, with beautiful mountain views. This home is located near the end of a cul-de-sac, so it is private and low-traffic. The main level is easy, comfortable living, with ready access to the covered decks. The living room has vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Originally wood-burning, the fireplace is now fitted with gas logs and can be converted back to wood-burning if desired, following proper protocols. Also on this floor are a light-filled kitchen and dining, plus two bedrooms that share a bath. The east porch is the seller’s favorite spot—and once you’re out there, you’ll see why. Upstairs, find a small loft at the landing, well suited as an office or reading retreat, then a private primary suite with electric radiant heat in the tiled bath floor. The finished lower level adds a game room or den with a gas-burning fireplace, a full bath, and a tandem two-car garage. Two fenced areas include a smaller run off the main living space, with convenient access for the pups. A separate outbuilding adds storage for outdoor equipment, so that space does not take up valuable garage room. Significant covered decking wraps the home and takes in the views. A geothermal system handles heating, cooling, humidification, and air filtration, and recovers waste heat for a portion of the hot water. A whole-house generator with transfer switch and a 500-gallon LP tank keep the house ready year-round. There is also a 50-amp connection in the basement for an electric vehicle, and an Ecobee thermostat for remote temperature control. The home is being sold fully furnished, with a few owner exceptions. This is the mountain cabin you’ve been looking for: high in the community, well kept, energy-smart, and already set up to live in or rent. Pocketed in an area close to both Boone and Blowing Rock, short-term rentals are allowed, so it works as a full-time residence, a second home, or an income-producing retreat.

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.
