About 269 Willow Mountain Drive
Just minutes from downtown Boone in the charming community of Willow Mountain, this fully renovated and furnished mountain cabin offers an exceptional combination of comfort, flexibility and income potential. On over an acre with a level front yard, easy year-round access, ample parking and a nearby babbling stream, the setting evokes a peaceful, park-like atmosphere ideal for full-time living, seasonal retreat or dual-use ownership. The home features a duplex-style layout, with a private lower-level apartment offering its entrance, full kitchen, laundry and utilities—well suited for a short-term or long-term rental, guest suite or multi-generational living. Inside, the spacious main living room is filled with natural light streaming through a wall of windows and anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace—currently outfitted with propane for convenience, but easily convertible back to wood-burning. Additional highlights include an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, oversized front-load washer and dryer, central air conditioning and fresh finishes throughout. A generous loft with its full bath provides flexible space for an additional sleeping area, lounge or home office. The back deck, front porch and a dedicated fire pit area expand the living space outdoors, offering the ideal setting to enjoy mountain views, fresh air and the tranquil sound of flowing water. Whether you're looking for a turnkey High Country getaway, a revenue-producing rental or a home with flexible living arrangements, this thoughtfully upgraded and move-in-ready property delivers lasting value in one of Boone’s most inviting settings. There is a 703-square-foot difference between tax records and professional measurements. The basement has been finished and is permitted. Permits are attached.
