Private mountain retreat just 5 minutes from downtown Burnsville! With year-round long-range views of the Black Mountains and Mt. Mitchell from the front porch, this is truly a unique offering. Situated on a gently sloped 2.28 acres in a peaceful setting, this one-level ranch offers a comfortable mountain lifestyle. The home features an open floorplan that includes 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Recent improvements include a new GE refrigerator, and stove, and a brand new vapor barrier in the basement. The property layout, along with 2+ acres, provides rare flexibility.

KILLER VIEWS! PRIVACY! BOLD Shuford CREEK - FLOWING THROUGH THE PROPERTY, not just along a boundary! ADJACENT to the NATIONAL FOREST! 3.22 ACRES and NO RESTRICTIONS! This has what everyone is looking for but no one can find. The only problem is that you won't get any work done if you live here. You'll be too busy playing in the creek, wandering trails, or just staring at the ever-changing views of the Black Mountains - the clouds love to get stuck on the peaks, creating some phenomenal sunsets. The house has so much potential with a big open kitchen and large living area on the main floor. Full baths with washer/dryer hookups on both floors leave the spaces flexible. With that layout, I think mother-in-law suite, or perhaps short term rental potential. Nice cool elevation at nearly 3000'. Low maintenance with hardie board siding and metal roof. Large shed for storage. Gentle ground for garden space. The list goes on and on. You need to get out and see it to fully appreciate all that this place has to offer. It is a truly unique find - one that does not come along often. Listing agent is related to seller.
