Property Description
Beautiful original hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by rich wood walls and ceilings with touches of classic beadboard that create a timeless and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area opens up to front porch to view the sunset, while the updated kitchen offers functionality, it's own fireplace with comfort for everyday living or hosting guests.
The main level includes a comfortable primary bedroom, a large full bath, and a convenient laundry area with modern washer and dryer. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with generous storage and closet space. In keeping with the character of many older mountain homes, the upstairs ceilings are slightly lower than standard, adding to the home's authentic farmhouse appeal.
Outdoor living is one of the highlights of this property. Relax on the large screened back porch or covered front porch while enjoying mountain views, wildlife, fresh air, and the peaceful sounds of nature. The property also includes a storage shed, fenced garden area with raised beds, and a welcoming firepit gathering space. Outdoor furniture conveys with the property, making it move-in ready for immediate enjoyment.
Over the past three years, the owners have made numerous improvements to enhance comfort, functionality, and peace of mind, including:
Replacement of the washer and dryer
New HVAC equipment
Structural improvements and leveling of portions of the flooring and screened porch
Replacement of all screened porch screens
Drainage and water flow improvements
French drain installation around the home
Septic system pumped in April 2025
Porch staining and painting
Safety railings and handrails added
Additional pantry shelving and insulation support improvements
Refreshed gravel in the drive/parking area
Previously utilized as both a cherished second home and a successful Airbnb rental, the property offers excellent flexibility for personal use, vacation living, or income potential. Partial rental history is available.
Conveniently located just outside the Sparta ETJ and near to the Blue Ridge Parkway, New River, and New River State Park, this home provides easy access to hiking, kayaking, fishing, scenic drives, and all the beauty the High Country has to offer.
For buyers seeking additional acreage or privacy, the adjoining 22-acre property is also available for purchase.
