Property Description
Welcome to your mountain retreat at 452 Wilderness Drive-a charming rustic cabin nestled in a peaceful gated community, surrounded by the beauty of Western North Carolina. With proven rental income, this property is an excellent opportunity as a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. A circular driveway winds through lush native vegetation and mature trees, creating a warm welcome before you even step onto the cozy covered front porch. Inside, the main level offers an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area filled with rustic character, along with a spacious primary suite featuring a private en-suite bath. Upstairs, you'll find a second bedroom with its own en-suite bath, plus a versatile loft that easily accommodates one or two beds, or serves as the perfect home office, art studio, or additional sleeping space. The unfinished walk-out basement offers incredible potential with an existing fireplace, washer and dryer, and ample space to create an additional family room, game room, or bunkroom. Step directly onto the covered concrete patio and imagine the possibilities. The true showstopper awaits just outside the back door. An expansive deck features both covered and open-air spaces designed for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The rounded overlook provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and the valley below-an unforgettable setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or evenings under the stars. Located just minutes from Linville Falls, Linville Caverns, and miles of hiking trails, outdoor adventure is always close by. Wildlife is a frequent visitor, and the quiet, gated community offers the peace and privacy that make mountain living so special. Whether you're looking for a serene mountain escape, a full-time residence, or an investment with an established rental history, 452 Wilderness Drive delivers rustic charm, stunning views, and exceptional versatility.
