About this home
Locust Gap Hideaway- a 133+ acre tract with NO RESTRICTIONS & NO ZONING! This large tract offers well-laying terrain with long-range & panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views, including views of Grandfather Mountain and the Beech Mountain ski slopes. A quaint mountain home with open floor plan offers a great spot to take in the views with a full, unfinished basement for additional living space and bedroom potential. Adjacent to the home is a detached almost 900sf garage and workshop, as well as a wood/utility shed. Mountain springs meander across the land while level and gently-sloping wooded areas offer potential for additional building sites with views. All furnishings/personal items convey with the exception of a few personal items.
