About 1193 Oliver Hill Road
Set on 2.17 peaceful acres with beautiful, long-range views of layered mountains and pastoral landscapes, this 1910 farmhouse offers a quiet retreat deeply rooted in its natural surroundings. Fully renovated in 2019, the home features two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an inviting interior updated with 2020 interior paint and new window treatments in the primary and guest bedrooms. The main level includes an updated kitchen with a 2022 refrigerator and a newly installed 2025 dishwasher, a dining room with a new chandelier, forced-air propane heating, and an included washer and dryer. Upstairs, a versatile bonus area provides an extra bedroom and an office or play space, offering significant functional room not counted in the heated square footage due to ceilings just under seven feet. Outside, the exceptionally quiet grounds invite exploration and relaxation, featuring three distinct ponds, an established kitchen garden yielding fresh fruits and vegetables, stone-bordered flower beds, and a fire pit. An expansive deck, extended in 2020 and freshly stained in 2026, provides an ideal vantage point for enjoying the serene environment and ample mountain sunshine. Practical property features include an outdoor cellar for extra storage, new gutters and exterior paint completed in 2023, and a new gravel driveway from 2026 that offers generous parking. Notably, the property and its surrounding land sustained no damage from Hurricane Helene. Offering a genuine sense of seclusion and tranquility without sacrificing convenience, this beautiful property sits just eight minutes from Banner Elk Winery, nine minutes from downtown Banner Elk, and eleven minutes from Valle Crucis.
