About 979 Spice Creek Road
Tucked away in the awe-inspiring wilderness just outside Banner Elk, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat awaits. A well-maintained 3-bed, 3-bath log home that promises more than just a place to live. It offers a way of life. Follow the winding drive through whispering trees & step into a world where time slows down. Here, your mornings begin with the hush of wind over majestic long-range views, & evenings are spent beside a crackling stone wood-burning fireplace, surrounded by the rustic charm of handcrafted logs & warm, timbered ceilings. The main level welcomes you with cozy comfort & a primary suite, while a second living area or game room downstairs invites play, creativity, or relaxation along with another bedroom & bathroom. Whether you're hosting guests in the upstairs bedroom or enjoying solitude, there’s space for it all. Plus a 1-car attached garage & a large storage building tucked just below the home for all your gear and toys. Step outside & adventure beckons. With nearly 25 acres at your feet, laced with private hiking & ATV trails, this is your personal playground. Wander through towering woods, discover the artesian spring, or gather under the stars by the firepit, where stories flow as easily as the mountain air. Looking to expand? There’s room for additional homesites with access from adjacent acreage, & the expansive drive provides ample parking with space to carve out a second driveway if you wish. With few restrictions your mountain vision has room to grow. And yet, despite all this seclusion, you're just minutes from the charming town of Banner Elk where fine dining, local markets, & year-round activities from skiing to summer concerts await. Whether you're seeking a private estate, a family retreat, or a basecamp for high-country adventures, this rare property offers the best of mountain living & a story waiting to be written. The Mountains Are Calling…Are You Listening?
