Property Description
Peace, Privacy & Possibility – A Modern Retreat in Historic McDowell
Set on 1.3 scenic acres between two working farms, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom + den, 2.5-bath home offers a rare blend of modern convenience, serene surroundings, and small-town charm—ideal for both those looking to downshift into peaceful living and families craving space to grow, explore, and thrive.
No HOA. Expansive mountain and pasture views. High-speed FIBER INTERNET. This isn't just a home—it's a lifestyle upgrade.
Inside, an airy, light-filled layout welcomes you with new flooring throughout and a spacious, open-concept design. The heart of the home is a fully updated kitchen with brand-new appliances—perfect for everything from morning coffee to full-blown culinary experiments. The main level includes two generously sized bedrooms, an updated full bath, and a guest-friendly powder room. Downstairs, a private suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath creates an ideal space for guests, older kids, or even a home office or creative studio.
Step outside and unwind: enjoy stunning views from the spacious back deck, roast marshmallows at the custom-built fire pit, or get your hands dirty in the raised garden beds. The flat yard offers plenty of room for entertaining, playing, or simply relaxing under the stars. A 10'x12' garden shed adds storage or workshop potential.
Located just outside the heart of historic McDowell, this home is within walking distance of the local market and the beloved annual Maple Festival—yet tucked away from the main road for year-round peace and quiet.
Whether you're retiring into something simpler or starting your next chapter with more space and freedom, this home delivers the privacy you want, the community you value, and the flexibility you need. 24-hour notice for appointments, please.
