About this home

Tucked away among the hardwoods in the gated mountain community of Powder Horn Mountain, this charming two-bedroom, two-bath cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic character, modern comfort, and low-maintenance mountain living. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a peaceful weekend getaway, or an investment opportunity, this property is ideally suited for personal enjoyment as well as short- or long-term rentals. With just one step to the main level, the thoughtfully designed floor plan lives comfortably and efficiently. The main floor welcomes you with a warm and inviting living room centered around a gas fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen with island seating, a spacious bedroom, and a full bath. Downstairs, the flexible lower level offers a large open-concept den with closet and laundry area, a second bedroom, and an additional full bath-creating excellent separation and privacy for guests, extended family, or multiple living arrangements. Both levels open onto expansive full-length decks overlooking a tranquil wooded setting, where the sights and sounds of nature become part of everyday life. During the winter months, enhanced seasonal mountain views emerge through the trees, while the surrounding forest provides privacy and a beautiful backdrop throughout the year. Low-maintenance vinyl siding, ample parking, and a central heating and air system replaced in 2022 add convenience and peace of mind. The current gas fireplace was converted from wood-burning and could potentially be converted back by a future owner if desired. What truly sets this property apart is its location within Powder Horn Mountain, one of the High Country's most unique and amenity-rich gated communities. Spanning more than 1,200 acres of protected mountain terrain, Powder Horn offers a lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and relaxation. Residents enjoy access to a community swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, half basketball court, playground, chapel, rustic campground, three private lakes, trout streams, picnic areas, and miles of hiking trails that wind through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Wildlife sightings are common, community events foster a welcoming atmosphere, and full-time maintenance staff, trash service, and a manned gated entrance provide convenience and security. Ideally located between Boone, Blowing Rock, and West Jefferson, Powder Horn Mountain offers easy access to the area's ski resorts, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian State University, shopping, dining, and countless outdoor adventures while still feeling worlds away from the hustle and bustle. This cozy mountain retreat presents a rare opportunity to experience the High Country lifestyle in a community where nature, recreation, and mountain charm come together beautifully.
