Banner Elk Other | Renovated 1885 Farmhouse: Horse, Goats, & Fresh Eggs

3 Bedroom Place in Banner Elk

No hidden fees, everything is included in the price! The Historic Farmhouse was built in the 19th century and has been beautifully restored and lovingly adorned by Paul and Fabiana Lehmann with all the modern luxuries you could ever desire. Surrounded by mountain ranges and old oak trees, this home sits on a quiet, scenic byway, one of the last remaining original gravel roadbeds in North Carolina. You will enjoy peaceful mornings and evenings filled with wildlife such as deer and turkeys, but you're still just 2 minutes outside of downtown Banner Elk. Imagine yourself rocking on the front porch chairs, a drink and/or book in hand. This very spot is where James Wilburn Whitehead, a determined pioneer who arrived in 1872 with a gun, two hogs, and a dog would once look out over the hundreds of acres that he owned. Here, you are able to experience the same timeless beauty and tranquility that drew in the first settlers over a century ago.
But what truly makes The Historic Farmhouse special are the memories made with our little farm animal family. You will wake up to the sound of the birds chirping, and then head across the street to collect fresh eggs from “The Ladies” for breakfast. Visit our horse Dusty in the large field, who gallops over and whinnies when he’s called. His pasture mate is our mini donkey, Dobby, who may be small but insists he’s just as grand as Dusty. Our adorable goats BamBam and Molly are always eager to accept a gentle pet or a tasty nibble of fresh grass too! We are offering you an authentic, interactive farm experience that connects you to the land's rich agricultural past and creates one of a kind memories for guests of all ages.
You and your loved ones can settle into the mountain view hammock or circle around the backyard fire pit for starlit conversations and s’mores. The huge master suite is a sanctuary in itself, featuring a private sitting area, a garden tub with a view for a relaxing soak, and a luxurious three function shower. You will surely enjoy the warmth and comfort of heated floors. Toys, books, and games are also available for children. For those special times of year like Thanksgiving and Christmas, we decorate to ensure your holiday stay is filled with extra magic and cheer. You're also just 10 minutes from Sugar and Beech Mountain ski resorts, or you can even enjoy an epic sledding hill right outside your front door (sleds provided).
The restoration of The Historic Farmhouse has been a true labor of love for the Lehmann family, as Paul himself grew up making childhood memories within its very walls. The Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina has even recognized our extreme dedication to bringing The Farmhouse's unique character and history back to life. We are honored and very excited to share this especially unforgettable farm experience with you. It would be selfish to keep it all to ourselves!

Summary: A special place this historic farmhouse, lovingly cared for by our gracious hosts. Ideal location - high on a hill with mountain views - yet just minutes from town. Lots of deer and wild turkeys around besides the pet goats and the chickens whose eggs you are free to collect. Farmhouse is clean and comfortable and has many interesting antiques and other items that add to its appeal. Well worth the stay.
