About 12443 Old Hwy 16
Private Mountain Estate with Views, Acreage & Endless Charm – First Time on Market! Tucked away at the top of the mountain, this custom-built beauty is hitting the market for the very first time! Built by local craftsmen and meticulously maintained, this one has the rustic soul you’ve been looking for, with all the room, views, and peace you need to live your best mountain life. Over 30+ acres of pasture, privacy, and fenced-in freedom—plus a spring-fed creek that’s perfect for building your own pond. Horses? Cows? Gardens? Bring them all. The massive great room sets the tone with a wall of windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and reclaimed timber beams with history and character. Just over 1800 sq ft on the main level, and it flows like a dream. The country-style kitchen has all the charm—roomy eat-in space, ample counters and cabinetry, and mountain views from the dining area. Off the kitchen, a sunroom leads to a stone outdoor fireplace area perfect for fall evenings and summer gatherings. The primary suite is private and spacious, featuring a walk-in shower, double vanity, and an oversized closet. There's a second bedroom and full bath tucked just off the hallway. Want more? Head downstairs to find two more bedrooms, another full bath, allowing for flexible spaces for guests, office, crafts, gym—you name it. Lower level garage with bonus storage and workshop space. Easy access from the main level, too, for unloading groceries right into the kitchen. Sit on the covered front porch and soak up unobstructed long-range mountain views over your private pasture paradise. Only 25 minutes to West Jefferson—breweries, boutiques, art, and Appalachian charm await. This one is rare. First time on the market. Built right. Loved well. Call now to come see it for yourself!
