5 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 4356600 MLS
Located approx a mile from the Town of Banner Elk, this charming mountain cottage sits in the highly sought-after Highlands community and offers proven income-producing potential as a high-performing short-term rental for the past three years. This fully furnished 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Cape Cod-style home rests on nearly one acre (.95) and features a spacious open floor plan designed for comfort and entertaining. The main level includes a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area accommodating all guests at one table, and a bright living room filled with windows. A main-level bedroom with attached full bath and double closets provides convenient single-level living. Two decks on the main floor—one off the dining area and one off the living room—extend the living space outdoors. Upstairs features two bedrooms, including the primary suite with full bath, closet, and dormer seating with built-in storage. An additional bedroom offers a half bath, closet, and dormer bench/storage. The finished walkout basement adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, stackable laundry, and a converted one-car garage now serving as a game room with arcade games and movie space. Two separate basement entrances provide excellent functionality. The hot tub conveys and remains a favorite amenity for guests. This home appraised $10,000 above list price and generated $72,000 in rental income in 2024 despite significant fourth-quarter cancellations due to Hurricane Helene, projecting revenue potential near $100,000 annually. 2025 performance has remained strong, even with substantial owner use during peak summer months. P&L's are included in the attachments. Ideal as a turnkey investment property, second home, or full-time mountain retreat—minutes to dining, shopping, skiing, and year-round recreation.

If you've been looking for a significant amount of land with true mountain privacy, this 18.21-acre property in West Jefferson is exactly what you need. Unlike smaller subdivided lots, this acreage gives you enough room to build your home in total seclusion, surrounded by the native hardwoods and rhododendrons that make Ashe County so beautiful. With over 18 acres, you have the flexibility to clear a spot for long-range views or tuck your home away in a quiet valley for maximum peace and quiet. The lifestyle here is all about the outdoors. You are just a short drive from the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world and a favorite local spot for kayaking, tubing, and fishing. If you prefer land to water, Mount Jefferson State Natural Area offers incredible hiking trails with vistas that stretch for miles. It's the kind of place where your weekends are spent exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway or simply enjoying the wildlife and the sounds of nature right on your own property. The geography is quintessential High Country rolling ridges, crisp mountain air, and a climate that stays significantly cooler than the lowlands in the summer. At an elevation of around 3,100 feet, you'll enjoy four distinct seasons, including vibrant fall colors and enough snow to make the winters feel like a real mountain escape. The terrain offers everything from gentle slopes that are easy to build on to more rugged areas that protect your privacy and keep the neighbors at a distance. Despite the private feel, you are actually quite close to modern comforts. Downtown West Jefferson is about 15 minutes away and feels like a classic mountain town, complete with local art galleries, the famous Ashe County Cheese factory, and local breweries. You get the benefit of a small-town community where people know their neighbors, plus the convenience of being within 30-40 minutes of Boone. It's the perfect balance of rugged independence and easy access to the things you need.
