About 16215 N Nc-194 Highway
Step back in time—without sacrificing modern comfort—in this renovated circa 1879 estate set on nearly 4 level acres with +/-500 feet of frontage on Big Helton Creek, one of Ashe County’s most scenic stocked trout streams and no HOA...unrestricted property. This one-of-a-kind property offers the rare blend of charm and upscale living in North Carolina’s High Country. Stately white columns and towering sugar maples welcome you home. Property offers a great garden spot, room for horses, chickens, bees...the possibilities are endless. Inside, rich original details shine—9-foot ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, Rumford-style fireplaces, antique glass, and oak & poplar floors throughout. Yet, every room has been thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle, including radiant and baseboard water heating, mini-splits for year-round efficiency, and a chef-ready kitchen with granite countertops, gas range, and stainless appliances. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful escape, while upstairs features three spacious bedrooms, a bonus room, and multiple decks overlooking lush gardens and the flowing creek—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Outside, the property unfolds like a storybook: curated landscaping, grapevines, an apple orchard, and wide green lawns ideal for entertaining or simply breathing it all in. A 4-bay steel garage/workshop provides room for hobbies, storage, or future plans. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, elegant retreat, or luxury vacation rental, this is more than a home—it’s a legacy property offering history, soul, and stunning natural beauty.
