HIGHEST & BEST by 6pm Monday 3/21. Welcome to the "Quiet Mountain Cabin" you've been dreaming of! This chalet-style home oozes Mountain Charm: think sundrenched tongue & groove Cathedral ceilings, gas fireplace, & ample open decking to take in the SW Mountain Views. An adorable kitchen w/ SS appliances & eat-in bar, 2 cozy bedrooms and 1ba + laundry round out the upstairs, while a finished basement offers a 2nd full bath and endless possibilities for additional sleeping space or game room/den. The home comes fully furnished (few exclusions) with a turnkey Vacation Rental business for those who want it, including website url, branding, Instagram, & owner's playbook/vendor list. In 2021, "QMC" grossed $39k on Airbnb alone. Revenue potential is higher ($42k-$53k), considering Sellers enjoyed a total of 85 days themselves and only made the top floor available to guests. Tucked just 0.5mi off the Blue Ridge Parkway and minutes from Linville Falls, Grandfather Mtn, & the Ski resorts, this gem is the perfect 4 season retreat for the Outdoors lover, and has been meticulously cared for inside & out, including a new metal roof completed March 2022. Come take a look before it disappears!

IT'S ALL DONE!! THAT'S RIGHT. BUY THE KEY. TURN ON THE LIGHT. Then look at everything this seller has done to this home. From painting inside and out. All new appliances, custom built fireplace, Mitsubishi split/air system, and so much more that I am going to refer you to documents to get the list. She got it all done and decided to move to the beach to spend her time with her family and friends. Seriously, let me show you all new bathrooms, ceiling fans, outside 10x12 storage shed with power and lights, invisible fence and new gravel for the 6+ parking spaces. I'm done. Come see.

Rustic vacation home near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Well maintained Chalet, wood floors pretty much throughout the house. large open deck for entertaining. Close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and local attractions. Are you looking for an affordable home in the mountains of NC, great for a summer getaway, or would work really well for a short term rental. The great room has cypress paneling and skylights, sliding glass door opens out on to large deck with mountain views. Down stairs is a garage but could easily converted to more living space if needed. Vaughan Nursery is right around the corner, one of the best places in the High Country to buy wholesale plants. Sking is 10 minutes away, Grandfather is 10 minutes away. Downtown Banner Elk is 15 minutes and Boone is about 25 minutes. great location.
