About This Home
Enjoy the best of peaceful, rural life without sacrificing convenience. This beautiful 1.75+/- acre property is ideally located just 10 minutes from both Spruce Pine & Bakersville, offering a balanced lifestyle with room to spread out. Bakersville hosts the annual NC Rhododendron Festival, celebrating the world’s largest natural rhododendron gardens on nearby Roan Mtn! The land is mostly level & unrestricted, giving you freedom to raise animals, plant a garden, or simply enjoy the space. Built in 1958, the home features a classic layout with a warm, lived-in feel. Recent updates include a new metal roof (set for completion in the coming weeks), a detached carport, & restored hardwood floors in the living room. The back porch was enclosed to create a bonus room off the den—great for a reading nook or hobby space. Just an hour from both Asheville & Johnson City, this property offers a rare mix of rural charm & regional access. Don’t miss out—properties like this don’t come around often!
