Price Reduced ListingSeller motivated and eager to entertain your offers. This, first time on the market, property features a modest 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, sitting at approximately 2425 feet on 5.608 acres of mountain land in western North Carolina. The house was loved and occupied for many years by only one family. The highest point on the parcel offers a southern view from 2606 feet of Mt. Celo in the Mt. Mitchell range. Timbered with old growth forest, the land has been used in the past for hunting deer, other wildlife, and for simply walking the land and enjoying the beauty. The lower acreage was utilized in the past for livestock grazing and gardening. Outdoor enthusiasts will have access to challenging hiking trails close in proximity at higher elevations on Roan Mountain, straddling the NC/TN border at 6277 feet, which is an approximate 13 mile drive North of the property. Roan Mountain also provides access to backpacking and the Appalachian trail. The property is located in a small community on a dead end road and offers seclusion while also being accessible to the towns of Bakersville, Penland (a small, but internationally known arts and crafts school and community), Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland, Burnsville, and approximately 30 miles from Johnson City, Tennessee offering access to abundant shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Asheville, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Boone are about an hour to an hour and a half away. In addition to the house, the property offers multiple additional structures which were used for storage of canned foods, wood, and tools as well as crafting and a chicken coop, but could be replaced or repurposed. With no zoning or restrictions, this property offers many possibilities, whether you are looking for a home, a peaceful little mountain getaway, or an investment property.
