About this home

The full unfinished basement features Superior Walls construction, a functioning full bathroom, offering outstanding potential for additional finished living space such as a recreation room, home gym, workshop, or hobby area. With a 3 bedroom septic in place there are many possibilities for expansion. Breathtaking mountain views take center stage from this beautifully maintained mountain retreat, offering easy year round access via paved roads no steep or intimidating mountain driving required. Sold completely furnished, this home is ready for you to start enjoying mountain living from day one or rental ready. The open concept living area is designed to maximize the incredible scenery, with vaulted ceilings, a cultured stone gas log fireplace, abundant windows, and French doors that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen, dining area, and living room all enjoy panoramic mountain vistas, while the oversized deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing and taking in the spectacular landscape. Enjoy incredible views of Chimney Rock, Hickory Nut Gorge, and the surrounding mountain cliffs from the comfort of your own home. Wake up each morning in the spacious primary suite, where French doors open to the expansive deck and showcase dramatic rock face views right from your bed. Unwind in the charming clawfoot soaking tub after a day of exploring the surrounding mountains. A comfortable guest bedroom and full bath provide welcoming accommodations for family or friends. Beautiful Australian Cypress hardwood flooring flows throughout the main living areas, with tile flooring in the bathrooms and laundry room. Lovingly maintained as a private vacation home, this property has never been used as a rental, resulting in minimal wear and tear. However, it offers excellent potential as a short-term vacation rental or investment property. Recent updates include a new roof (2025), new water heater (2024), and new refrigerator (2026). Located just minutes from Chimney Rock State Park, Chimney Rock Village, and Lake Lure Beach, you'll enjoy convenient access to restaurants, grocery shopping, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and countless outdoor adventures. Charming mountain towns including Hendersonville, Saluda, Tryon, and Forest City are all nearby, while Asheville, Greenville, and Charlotte are easy day trips.
