288 Hoot Owl Hill

A 2.02-acre single family residence in Morganton.

NEW CONSTRUCTION HIGH-END FINISHES CLOSE TO HIKING TRAILS. This is mountain living without the builder-grade shortcuts, thoughtfully finished inside and out for a home that feels custom from the moment you arrive. Just 2.3 miles from the Wilscot Gap hiking trail and 6 miles from Morganton Point, the location makes it easy to trade everyday routine for time on the trail, by the lake, or gathered at home with friends. Professional landscaping, a circular driveway, maintenance-free black aluminum railings, and extensive stonework give the property a finished, established feel rarely seen in new construction, with stone-clad walls, landscaped steps and boulders, and a built-in stone fire pit creating a true outdoor gathering space. Designed for easy main-level living, the private primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor, well separated from the 2 additional bedrooms downstairs, and features dual sinks, granite countertops, and a tiled step-in shower. The living room opens directly to a covered deck with a wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural extension of the entertaining space, while the paver patio below is pre-wired and ready for a hot tub. Inside, hickory floors, gas logs, ceiling fans throughout, a tankless water heater, and dual-fuel zoned heating add comfort and efficiency. The kitchen pairs knotty alder cabinetry with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, a 6-burner range, and Frigidaire Gallery black stainless appliances. The finished walk-out lower level offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath, bonus room, wet bar, and direct patio access, giving guests their own comfortable retreat. Short-term rental friendly and equally suited as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property, this home offers flexibility along with standout craftsmanship.
