Once upon a time the owners began their dream home in 1982 by completely removing the original 1850 remnants that were on the property except for a beam-this continuous labor of love eventually became the uniquely beautiful Bella Mattina B&B for 11 years. It's been a private oasis that only family & guests have been privileged to enjoy until NOW! This special home has so many local artist's handiwork & craftsmanship throughout the property that it truly is a one of a kind! Cedar sided contemporary manor has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths on 9.52 UNRESTRICTED acres. Thoughtfully built with so many windows & wraparound decking with built in seating to take in the sweeping mountain views toward Sleepy Creek Mountain and awesome spaces for entertaining. Tucked away screened porches for afternoon naps and outdoor dining or games. Features include hardwood floors made of cherry, walnut & oak, soapstone floor & fireplace in the living room, heated ceramic tile floors in the bathrooms, stone fireplace & veranda in owner's suite, Pella windows & new Vilux skylights, 2X6 walls, new propane furnace, stainless steel appliances & prep counters in kitchen along with artistry tile in the island, custom made doors and railings, outdoor shower. Metal roof is just 3 years young with new gutters, drain spouts and leaf guards. The detached guest cottage has newer roof & siding, EBB heat &a/c-comes in handy when extra family arrives-just add a bed again or make it your private studio/office-currently used for storage to clear out the house. Huge 35X30 barn with electric needs some roofing repair-can be used for storage or use your imagination-this spot with a deck was used for RV parking area for additional family & guests. Any gardening enthusiast will be excited about the organic soil and garden spaces around the property. And if you want water that tastes as good as any spring water you can buy all you need is to turn on the spigot! I encourage you to stroll around the property, take in the view, feel that quiet serenity upon entrance to the driveway-there's something magical about this place you need to experience! It definitely makes you want to stay awhile and for some lucky new owner you will never have to leave!! And all this privacy is within a few minutes to downtown restaurants, spas, shopping and activities.
