If you've been looking for that perfect fishing retreat in the mountains, you're going to want to reel this one in! 3 unrestricted parcels totaling over 5 acres and offering over 430ft of frontage on the North Fork of the French Broad River. Imagine walking from your front door to your own private river access and fly fishing every day! This unique property offers a spacious main cabin and a caretaker cabin. Whether you want a private retreat for your own enjoyment or want to turn this property into an income producing rental portfolio, the potential is here......all that's missing is you. All of this with easy access to all the local highlights. Pisgah National Forest adventures, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and quaint downtown Brevard are all easily accessible from Peggy Ridge. House has been heated by gas logs for years with no issues, but the seller is offering a $10,000 credit for the installation of a mini split to modernize this rustic retreat. Must see to appreciate!
