450 Nc Hwy 88 None E, Jefferson, NC

High-altitude living in Jefferson finds a sophisticated expression in this 2000-built traditional estate, where ten acres of fenced pasture overlook the confluence of long-range mountain vistas and river frontage. The residence, spanning 5,181 square feet, is configured with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, emphasizing a floor plan designed for quiet privacy and grand-scale hosting. The primary suite is a notable study in utility and comfort, featuring a dedicated sunroom and direct access to a private deck with a hot tub. Beyond the dual staircases and two interior stone fireplaces, the property is a functional equestrian or livestock environment, complete with a contemporary barn. In the current regional climate, high-acreage parcels in Jefferson that offer both finished lower-level versatility and immediate agricultural readiness are increasingly rare, representing a stable hedge for the preservation of mountain privacy. The lower level provides significant expansion potential, further distinguishing the property from smaller, finished builds in the area. Private consultations and viewings are arranged through Peters & Associates.
