About This Home
Come experience the rustic charm and laid-back mountain lifestyle of this inviting 1-bedroom, 1-bath home nestled on 2.715 acres approximately 200 yards from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Surrounded by natural beauty and peaceful scenery, this property offers a quiet retreat where you can slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and embrace the simple pleasures of country living. A small creek meanders through the property, adding to its tranquil, storybook setting. An area is already prepared for an RV hookup, complete with power and sewer connections—great for guests, weekend adventures, or simply enjoying even more of the great outdoors. A 10' x 20' storage building with electricity provides plenty of room for tools, hobbies, or a workshop. Across the creek, a charming little cabin awaits your vision. With some renovation, it could become a cozy she-shed, artist's studio, writing retreat, or peaceful getaway tucked among the trees. It's the kind of space that invites you to unplug, get creative, and enjoy a slower pace of life. Major updates include a new roof (2021), updated electrical for RV hookup (2021), new septic system (2022), and new windows (2022). With its creek, wooded surroundings, convenient proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and abundance of character, this is more than a home—it's an opportunity to embrace a relaxed, rustic mountain lifestyle and create a place that's truly your own. ***The photos of the home have been lightened, but are not AI modified.***
