Homes within historic High Top Colony do not come on the market very often, and for good reason. This is a really SPECIAL place! It all starts with the incredible location. High Top Colony is on the National Registry of Historic Places, and this home borders over 1,000 acres owned by Blue Ridge Assembly. Even though you will feel like you are a million miles from anything, this peaceful retreat is only a little over two miles from the heart of downtown Black Mountain with its top restaurants, breweries, and local shops. The cabin offers cathedral ceilings, big windows, an inviting 24' x 8' covered porch, low-maintenance yard, and no steps. It is on a beautiful, easy-to-drive, state-maintained gravel road, and has cable for your high-speed internet needs. Long-range winter views. No city taxes. 2-bedroom septic, with space to easily envision any future additions to the home (buyer's agent to confirm possibilities). You CAN have it all!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
