About this property
Secluded Mountain Top Cabin! NEW Starlink Internet!
Heartwood Gated Community with Fabulous 30 Mile Views.
***PERFECT REMOTE GETAWAY TO UNPLUG***
Serenity- More than a cabin, a home.
We have spent the last 9 years here coming from North Carolina, Florida and New York. We found a place that would allow us to bring together friends and family, or just some time to ourselves. If you are looking for the same in a rural mountain retreat, welcome to Serenity.
Located in Heartwood, a gated 330-acre upscale community that allows those that live and play here room to breathe. It is the only home on The street so you can enjoy your privacy and quiet. You will enjoy all the sights and sounds of a reclusive getaway including serene views of Grandfather Mountain in the distance and 4 cascading ponds just outside your door. Finally, 360-degree views from the super wide wraparound deck that allows for all the entertaining or doing of nothing that you care to.
The home itself is more than 2000 square feet of living space that includes:
Main floor
A large well-appointed eat in kitchen
Family room adjacent to the kitchen with an oversized fireplace and ample room for all size gatherings.
Half bathroom.
Oversized Master suite with a king size bed, a spa like restroom including a shower that includes a Steamroom feature and a Jacuzzi Tub. There is also a large walk in closet.
Second Floor
2 additional bedrooms, one could be considered a Junior Suite with a new Queen bed and the other has a double and 2 twins providing plenty of room for additional guests.
In between there is a spacious, well-appointed Jack and Jill Bathroom. We have a pack and play for our guests use as well as two baby gates.
A cozy loft that offers a breathtaking view of Grandfather Mountain and the sun rise every morning.
But if for some reason you want to venture out, there is plenty to do.
Just adjacent to the house is a covered pavilion with a restroom, electricity and fire pit.
Heartwood has miles of trails and forest service roads to explore.
Nearby you will find two beautiful Vineyards, Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards and Farm.
Watauga Lake, one of the grandest lakes in the U.S., boasts all the amenities you would expect is a short drive away.
During the winter, Skiing is 45 min away at either The Sugar Mountain Resort or Beech Mountain Ski Resort.
For Racing Fans, The Bristol Motor Speedway is 45 miles away.
For adventurers, Off the Grid Mountain Adventures offers ATV/UTV rentals and tours, go carts and B.A.S.E jumping. Finally, ziplines that are almost 3000 Ft long and 300 Ft above the ground.
Amenities include:
•. STAR LINK now available! Fastest Satellite Internet Provider! Unlimited Data!
• Smart TV
• Cell Service
• Central Air and Heat, Whole house water filtration system
• Grill
• Full size Washer and Dryer
• Fire Pit.
• Dogs welcome up to 2 maximum; leashed at all times.
This is a mountain community. The last 1.5 miles of road is unpaved therefore we recommend at the very least an all wheel drive vehicle but highly encourage four wheel drive vehicles.
Heartwood is located approximately 25 miles from Boone, NC and 25 miles from the Tri Cities area made up of Johnson City, Bristol and Elizabethon, TN. When using GPS, enter Elk Mills, TN for best results.
We would love for you to make our home away from home, your home away from home.
