About this home
Riverfront Mountain Living — High, Dry & Convenient to Burnsville, Weaverville and Asheville Imagine waking up to the sound of the river, stepping onto your covered porch with a cup of coffee, and enjoying the beauty of the North Carolina mountains right outside your door. This special 1.28-acre property offers the rare combination of Cane River frontage, mountain views, privacy, and easy access to Burnsville, Weaverville and Asheville. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers approximately 1,650+ square feet of comfortable living space, with a welcoming layout designed to take advantage of its beautiful natural setting. A covered wraparound porch provides the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Inside, you'll find a spacious living area with fireplace, comfortable bedrooms, and plenty of room to make the home your own. And while logically the river area is located within the FEMA-designated flood plain (water river isn't?), the home itself sits safely outside any flood area even through the storm of 2024. Additionally the home does not require flood insurance—a tremendous benefit for anyone looking for riverfront living without the typical concerns associated with waterfront property. The property also features an attached two-car garage, covered wraparound porch, private well and septic pumped in 2023, and no HOA, giving you the freedom to enjoy this beautiful mountain setting on your terms. The location with very few curvy roads and steep hills is another standout. You're 5 minutes to downtown Burnsville, with its charming Main Street, restaurants, shops, galleries and local amenities, while the property itself offers a peaceful retreat along the river. Easy access to US 19E, the primary route connecting Burnsville toward Weaverville and Asheville, makes commuting and exploring the area remarkably convenient. Weaverville is approximately 25 minutes away, with Asheville approximately 35 minutes, depending on traffic and conditions. You can enjoy the quiet, slower pace of riverfront mountain living while still having straightforward access to the amenities, restaurants, shopping, healthcare and entertainment of the Asheville area. Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, weekend retreat, outstanding ABNB property or simply a place where the river and mountains become part of everyday life, 791 McKinney Road is a rare opportunity to own genuine riverfront property in the beautiful Burnsville area.
