NEW BEDROOM IN THE BASEMENT HAS BEEN ADDED! Whether you're looking for a profitable short-term rental or a mountain home that pays for itself, this 3-bed, 3-bath stunner on 2.75 private acres offers the best of both worlds and it's only 6 miles from Blue Ridge. The open-concept layout with 25-foot beamed ceilings and full-height windows gives the space a bright, airy feel, and the real rough sawn hardwood floors bring warmth and charm. With two septic systems already in place, you can rest easy knowing this home is equipped to handle the guest load, especially for the holidays. The fully remodeled kitchen makes entertaining easy, and outdoor living is dialed in with a huge open deck, screened-in porch, hot tub, and fire table—all surrounded by mountain views and total tree top privacy. Downstairs, the finished 1, 637 sqft basement adds flexibility for guest space, storage, or a game room setup, and the fenced yard is ready for four-legged visitors. It's move-in ready, STR-ready, income ready and waiting for someone to make the most of it.
