Tucked away in the mountains, this unique 2BR/1BA retreat offers comfort, character, and easy access to outdoor adventure. Originally a camper and thoughtfully expanded into a single-family residence, the home features multiple additions including a spacious screened porch with ramp access and a covered side porch. The inviting living area offers a wood-burning fireplace along with an additional propane heater for supplemental heat. The open-concept kitchen provides ample cabinet and counter space for everyday living or vacation use. An additional camper is located above the home and includes a detached covered porch, creating extra guest or recreation space. Conveniently located approximately 10–15 minutes from Fontana Lake, this property makes a great mountain getaway, vacation retreat, or investment opportunity.
