Nestled in a peaceful golf course community and backed by the pristine wilderness of the Pisgah National Forest, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home strikes the perfect balance between private seclusion and outdoor adventure. With three lots set on nearly two acres of mostly level, usable land, the property offers quiet tranquility and rich wildlife viewing—with frequent visits from local deer, wild turkey, and songbirds—all just minutes from neighborhood amenities. Inside, the main level features a warm and inviting atmosphere with a well-appointed kitchen and a great room overlooking the forest. Downstairs, an expansive open-concept game and family room easily accommodates a pool table, home theater, or secondary living area, making it ideal for hosting guests or family game nights. Step outside your door into an outdoor enthusiast's paradise with exceptional fishing on the South Toe River, direct access to national forest trails for hiking, and the Mount Mitchell Golf Club right down the street. When you are ready for a night out, you are located roughly an hour from the dining, culture, and high-class amenities of Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Beyond its charm as a private mountain retreat, this property has been a good performer for both short-term and long-term rentals, offering passive income potential in a sought-after outdoor destination. Priced to sell—schedule your private showing today before it’s gone!
