THE PROPERTY
Wanderin Lands is 105 acres of land in beautiful Ashe County NC. A state maintained back country road runs through the property. Upon arrival you'll find our home accessible from a short gravel driveway directly off that road. Orchard trees and an arbor of grape vines line the driveway. Through the home, you'll take in views of our 16 acre meadow and hear sounds of the burbling creek at the treeline where the meadow rises to hillsides. Out back is a large deck and screened porch with cafe lights and outdoor speakers. The deck also houses the hot tub, barrel cedar sauna, outdoor shower, and el fresco dining for 8. Beyond the deck is the solo stove fire pit and private A-frame cabin designed as a work/meditation/yoga space. Stretching to the west is a grass trail that leads out to a portion of our 105 acres.

THE HOME
We appreciate the simplicity of Scandinavian design with its cozy minimalism to bring peace to the mind and refocus on the beauty of the surroundings. Thoughtful views from every window, dim-able lighting in every room, and comfortable furniture nurture rest and relaxation. Inside, our home provides multiple open areas to gather if visiting with family or friends, as well as private spaces to be alone and reflect.

LIVING SPACES
We have an open floor plan connecting our kitchen/dining/living spaces.
Our fully equipped kitchen with island seating for 4, overlooks a large dining table for 8. The adjacent living space has two supple leather sofas that orient to views of the meadow and hillsides. When not taking in the views, our Samsung Gallery TV allows for streaming from all popular apps.

Beyond the dining area through the glass sliders is our screened porch with 2 additional sofas for relaxing, reading or napping (our favorite). The porch and deck are outfitted with speakers and cafe lights. Enjoy soft tunes or the burbling sound of the creek while taking in the sunset or wildlife (red-winged blackbirds & deer) the meadow.

Occasionally you will also catch the sound of cars passing on the nearby road that carves through our 105 acre property.

ROOMS
All bedrooms have bright natural light in the daytime and blackout blinds for great sleep. Each room also includes dim-able lighting, ceiling fans, USB plugs, a sound machine with 10+ sound options for lulling to restful sleep. All rooms are purposely TV free and outfitted with plenty of storage — A closet in all bedrooms, dresser in each primary room, and cubbie cabinet in each bunk room.

Guests have access to the entire home and exterior amenities with the exception of the basement and the owners closet in the second bunk room. The indoor wood-buring fire stove is not available for guest use, but you can use the fire pit outside.
