Investor special with historic character and strong renovation potential in the heart of the NC High Country. This fixer-upper offers solid historic bones and a spacious detached workshop—ideal for storage, tools, or working on the home during renovation. Floor joists will need to be repaired and the property is being sold as-is, making it best suited for investors, renovators, or buyers seeking a mountain project with long-term upside. Conveniently located near Linville Falls, Linville Gorge, and Linville Caverns, with abundant outdoor recreation nearby. Approximately 45 minutes to skiing and about an hour to Asheville, offering easy access to both adventure and amenities. Brand new microwave, hot water heater and plumbed for a bathroom downstairs but currently the only full bathroom is currently located on the second floor; offering flexibility for future reconfiguration or additional bathroom potential. Brand new electrical done by a licensed electrician in the "addition" off the kitchen. Chimneys cleaned in 2024. The home is completely habitable while it's being worked on. Great potential for a FHA 203k loan! Please note, the road is being repaired and is a little rough right now but still very manageable.
