1115 Elk Wallow None, Bakersville, NC 28705

Property Description

Perched at approximately 4,000 feet in elevation and aptly named Elk Wallow, this authentic cabin-style home embodies the essence of true mountain living, where unmatched privacy, sweeping long-range views, and a deep connection to nature define everyday life. Once a natural gathering place for roaming elk herds, the setting offers a rare sense of history and tranquility, framed by year-round mountain vistas that stretch endlessly across the horizon. Inside, an open floor plan welcomes you with warm wood flooring throughout and a vaulted wood ceiling that enhances the home’s rustic character while creating an airy, inviting atmosphere. A centrally placed wood stove provides both warmth and comfort, making the living space a cozy retreat in every season. The all-seasons porch adds flexibility and charm, easily enjoyed as a screened porch by removing the plexiglass to invite in fresh mountain air and the sounds of the surrounding forest. The covered porch, once a traditional sitting porch, offers the potential to be restored to its original design, while the walk-in pantry was formerly an open porch—thoughtful adaptations that reflect the home’s evolution and character. The bedroom is located on the upper level. Outside, the land is thoughtfully cleared to support a small animal farm, complemented by an existing barn that expands the property’s versatility. Whether you envision homesteading, hobby farming, or simply enjoying wide-open space, the possibilities are endless. Located within a private development featuring well-maintained roads and a modest annual road maintenance fee, the property offers seclusion without isolation. With no HOA and no restrictive covenants, your vision is free to unfold—making this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat an exceptional opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by freedom, nature, and timeless mountain charm.
