A stunning three-sided wraparound porch invites you to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings from every angle. Upstairs, the home features a bright, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light.

This level includes its own living room with a cozy gas stove, a mini kitchen and dining area, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a half bath with another full-size washer and dryer. An attached one-car garage adds everyday convenience. Recently renovated, the downstairs space was thoughtfully designed for an at-home wellness and tranquility spa. It features a built-in speaker system throughout, custom natural wood trim sourced from the property, and a striking antique carved dividing door. Whether you envision a private practice, creative studio, or luxurious guest suite, the possibilities are endless. A final touch: a unique stone-lined nook provides the perfect space for meditation, reflection, or even a one-of-a-kind wine cellar. The grounds are just as special. Enjoy a peaceful outdoor setting complete with a small infinity labyrinth, fire pit, and a storage shed. The property includes 6.6 acres and a separate parcel with the driveway, which crosses a charming creek as you arrive—setting the tone for this private retreat. For those seeking even greater seclusion, additional acreage is available for purchase (as a separate lot). This adjoining land wraps around the property, offering the opportunity to fully preserve and protect the privacy of your mountain hideaway. For over 5 years this unique mountain retreat has been carefully maintained as a part of the unofficial 'Amadell' neighborhood to allow the flourishing of the natural ecosystem and as a result now supports an abundance of rare plants and at-risk wildlife. The property is deed protected and surrounded by neighbors with those same protections, making this is location unlike any other on the market to have a true nature sanctuary of the Appalachian wilderness with unspoiled quiet, peaceful forest living.
