Incredible views of the river and mountains from the two porches of this historic 150 year old home just down the road from Boone, NC. It has been renovated with high-end furnishings, an updated kitchen, and bathrooms. The house has a complimentary computer and there is fiber-optic Internet with WiFi throughout. It sits nestled between hills on 5.5 acres overlooking the beautiful New River. A bubbling creek runs down from the big barn past the deck with a hot tub, across to join the New River. Fish, swim or tube right in front or just relax and watch the river from a rocking chair on the front or upstairs porches. The house is famous too - it is on the cover of the best-selling novel Nobody's Fool by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo.

What makes this property unique
The McGuire House was built in 1875 by Felix McGuire, an Irish immigrant who worked as a saddler for the British, who assigned him this land in the mountains for his contributions in the war. He gave it to his daughter and her husband to live in until the lumber trade slowed and they sold it to Pa Sherman who lived in it for 60 years until it was bought by C.Spencer!
