Exquisite, magnificent river estate just waiting for the right folks! What distinguishes this River Country home from the rest is its direct river front access to the New River but its seclusion from other properties. When you're there it's just you and the river. This exotic home with fastidiously maintained, recently stained hand-hewn logs will is simply stunning in its grandeur and majesty. The 360 wrap porch makes life easy in all seasons and weather. The interior is pure rustic and mountain replete with wood burning, stone hearth that vaults to the sky. Outside you are immersed in the sounds of river nature, the constant, coursing over water over rock runs and eddies. Just below you on the porch is the covered grilling gazebo nestled nicely between home and river to entertain your friends and family with memories that will last a lifetime. Be careful with your party invites becase no one will turn down an invitation to this experience! This is one of those situations where there is simply no substitute for being here, seeing it with your own eyes, listening to the birdsong, and the aeons-old course of the New River on its way from Blowing Rock to the Gulf. If you spend much of your life in the Piedmont heat and humidity, come explore the different world - the cool, temperate rainforest - the New River natural arboretum - one you own fee simple. Make it your world. Accept our challenge for a visit and see if you possess the will power to walk away once here. Watch our five-minute video walk thru and down to the river. Then let us know your impression. Opportunities of this ilk rarely rear their regal heads. We imagine the sheer grandeur of this property will turn the heads of one of our earliest visitors and deprive latecomers of its potential. Come while it is still here and decide for yourselves. Thank you for considering one of our finest listings. Please note: the last six photos are of improvements along and at the river bank the owner had made. These were affected and removed during hurricane Helene and he did not replace but it demonstrates the latitude of possibilities of your riparian rights.

$360,000
2 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 263874 MLS
Once the Sugar Grove Mill, this unique and historic home has been part of the fabric of the Cove Creek community for almost 200 years. Historical records trace the Sugar Grove Mill to 1840, and the mill remained in operation into the late 1960s before eventually becoming the residence you see today. Following an earlier fire, portions were rebuilt around 1920, and today elements of the original mill remain thoughtfully woven throughout the home—a tangible connection to nearly two centuries of High Country history. Step through the front door into a spacious, open living and kitchen area filled with character. Two bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the main living space, each with an attached full bath, creating a comfortable and private layout. Cove Creek is a captivating companion: windows from the living room and bedroom look toward the water, while one bedroom opens directly onto the back deck overlooking the creek—a beautiful place to sit, listen, and watch the seasons move through the valley. Upstairs, a separate living space offers additional flexibility, complete with its own kitchen, full bath, and private deck. It can be accessed from a separate entrance off the front porch as well as through an interior door near the laundry room, creating a distinct space for guests, extended household living, a studio, or other possibilities appropriate to the home. The setting carries a history all its own. Located in the Sugar Grove community approximately 15 minutes from Boone and Appalachian State University, the home sits just down the block from the Western Watauga Community Center and the local library. Nearby is the historic Cove Creek School, a striking stone landmark completed in 1940 and today serving the community in new ways. This is not a house stripped of its past and made new. Its history is still visible. The old mill remains part of the architecture, Cove Creek still moves alongside it, and generations of mountain life surround it. For the next steward, the opportunity is a gem: a home with history, an extraordinary sense of place, flexible living space, and room for imagination—all within easy reach of Boone. The Old Mill is ready for its next chapter. *Listed as 2 bedrooms because of the septic permit but there is a full apartment, full bath, kitchen, and room upstairs with a separate entrance option.

Both parcels offer the possibility for subdivision should a buyer wish to create multiple homesites. SHORT-TERM RENTALS PERMITTED.
