If you’ve been craving a quieter way of life in the mountains, this property gives you the space and setting to actually enjoy it. Picture slow mornings, coffee outside, time by the pond, room for pets or a garden, and the kind of privacy that lets you breathe a little deeper. Inside, this 2BR/2BA home with a flex room has been thoughtfully updated with LVP flooring, fresh interior paint, updated bathrooms, refreshed kitchen cabinetry and hardware, an updated HVAC system, and a newer roof. The spring-fed water system has also been improved with a new catch basin, sediment filtration, UV treatment, and an approximately 3,000-gallon holding tank. The home is plumbed for propane, with a large propane tank already on the property. A new back porch creates another place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, whether you are starting your day with coffee or winding down in the evening. Situated about halfway between Burnsville and Spruce Pine, you can enjoy a peaceful mountain setting without giving up access to the places you need to go. Marion is approximately 30 minutes away, with Asheville approximately 50 minutes away, making this a great home base for exploring Western North Carolina. Whether you are ready to downsize, trade city noise for mountain quiet, find a full-time home with more breathing room, or finally have that mountain getaway you have been talking about, this property offers the setting to make it happen. If your version of home looks like quiet mornings, mountain air, a pond outside, and room to simply enjoy life, come see what this one has to offer.
