This nearly 20-acre property offers endless possibilities. Imagine having a large creek and a natural swimming hole as your front porch view. For the sportsman, this home’s land is bordered by 48,000 acres of Pisgah National Forest, offering endless hunting and fishing opportunities, along with views of Brown Mountain and Table Rock. Even better, if you wish to share this gem, the land is subdividable and offers numerous additional possible home sites, along with a deeded easement for a future second driveway. This could also provide possible income for those interested in short-term rentals! The cottage-style home is picturesque and very well maintained. The open-concept dining, kitchen, and living room layout under a vaulted ceiling gives you room to spread out and enjoy the view from the large front windows. You’ll love the real hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and upgraded stainless steel appliances. The layout is perfect for all ages, with the primary bedroom on the main level and a private full bath. The remaining two upper bedrooms and bath are generously sized as well. It gets better, how about a 1,600 sq ft insulated, separately metered metal three-car garage with covered RV parking, paths for four-wheeling, two storage buildings, and a gated drive. Off the side of the home, enjoy the pool with surrounding Trex decking and a sitting area for all your guests. Located 20 minutes to Lake James, 30 minutes to Linville Falls, 90 minutes from Charlotte, and 20 minutes to downtown Morganton.
