This home is unique in so many ways. Nestled up Spivey Mountain Road, just 4.5 miles from the North Carolina State Line and the Appalachian Trail, sitting above 2,100 feet, this oasis offers so much for 1.82 acres. While the home was built in 1955, it has since been completely remodeled inside. The 2 bed, 1 bath home offers a comfortable living area with buck stove to keep it warm during cold evenings. During the warm summer days, the owner can leave the front door open, allowing a cool breeze to flow in from the rushing waters of Spivey Creek. The kitchen was recently remodeled and there are wood accents and flooring throughout, making the home very cozy. Step outside and you have access to a 19' x 50' garage that has been completely remodeled, including the roof, insulation, and siding. The oversized front door allows for access of oversized vehicles, and the side standard sized garage door gives access to the back part of the building. Outside you'll find a covered picnic area and attached RV shelter with power dedicated to the RV site. This one of a kind property offers a connection to nature, yet it only 8.5 miles from Erwin town limits. Cell signal is very limited, but French Broad Utilities does offer high speed internet for wi-fi calling in this area. All information deemed reliable. Buyer / buyer's agent to verify all information.
