A rare mountain property where exceptional craftsmanship, privacy and natural beauty come together. Set on 4 acres with an additional 2.61-acre parcel, this distinctive timber-frame home offers remarkable seclusion, with no visible neighbors and extraordinary dark-sky conditions. Mountain views stretch toward Roan Mountain, with winter revealing even more of the surrounding ridgelines.
Dramatic exposed timber framing defines the vaulted great room, creating an impressive sense of scale while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere. The timber framing was crafted in connection with a timber-framing class at nearby Penland School of Craft, adding a unique connection to the area's celebrated craft tradition. Oak floors, pine flooring upstairs and a Vermont Castings wood stove bring warmth and character, while clerestory windows fill the home with natural light.
Recent improvements include a new range, dishwasher and washer/dryer in 2025 and quartz countertops in 2026. The lower level offers flexible living/studio space, plus a 14' x 24' storage room, providing options for guests, creative pursuits or a home office.
Surrounded by mature hardwoods, wild blackberries and fireflies, this is a truly special mountain home near Penland and Bakersville--where craftsmanship, privacy, nature and a spectacular star-filled sky come together.
