Property Description
Build a life you don't need a vacation from, where peace is the rule rather than the exception. This WNC home checks all the hard-to-find boxes - 16.48 unrestricted acres (No HOA!), tons of privacy, a home with distinctive charm, natural water source, multiple outbuildings, established trails, abundant wildlife, and room to roam. The 2 BR / 2 BA home offers a versatile loft/bonus room that is ideal for a home office, guest space, or man cave. Three heat sources (heat pump, a new gas-log fireplace, and a wood-burning stove) provide year-round comfort. The property boasts a 24x31 (744 sf) workshop with electric and water, three additional outbuildings, and a 30-amp RV hookup. More than two acres are cleared with a stream running through the middle, while the additional 14 wooded acres invite you to explore by foot, mountain bike, or ATV. Rich in local history, the original hand-hewn log cabin was once part of a family homestead and has been lovingly cared for. Family and local historical accounts suggest the cabin may date to the 18th century. Revel in the feeling of being tucked away without sacrificing convenience- just 10 minutes to Lake Lure and the nearest grocery store, 20 minutes to Chimney Rock, Tryon Equestrian Center, or Columbus, and 35 minutes to Hendersonville. Come experience the possibilities in person. Tour the home, walk the trails, or sit on the porch and envision your own hobby farm. Seller will consider sale of home with approximately 2.4 acres for $380K, or approximately 14 acres of vacant land for $195K, subject to survey and county approval. Owner is a licensed NC Realtor.
