About this home
Discover more than just a mountain home—this updated Black Mountain retreat offers privacy, long-range seasonal views, flexible living space, and the added potential of a second buildable area on the property. Located among the quiet, rolling hills of southern Black Mountain, the home provides a peaceful setting while offering features that make the property especially versatile. The lower portion of the lot is buildable and has direct access from Morgan Hill Road, creating an excellent opportunity for additional parking, a garage, workshop, guest space, or potentially a second building site. A driveway to this portion of the property was previously roughed in and, while currently somewhat overgrown, provides a head start for future use. Buyers should verify their intended use and building plans. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its warm mountain character. The renovated kitchen features soapstone countertops, new appliances, custom lighting, and plenty of space for cooking and entertaining. Three renovated full bathrooms continue the blend of rustic character and modern comfort, including a primary bath with a cedar-wrapped soaking tub and spacious walk-in shower. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a finished basement, there is plenty of room to spread out. The lower level offers flexible space for a media room, home office, recreation area, guest space, or hobbies. Outside, enjoy changing mountain scenery throughout the year—from lush summer surroundings and brilliant fall color to expanded long-range winter views. For buyers concerned about today's mortgage rates, the sellers are also willing to consider contributing toward a 2-1 interest rate buydown with an acceptable offer, potentially reducing the buyer's interest rate by 2% during the first year and 1% during the second year. Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, a private retreat, additional parking and usable land, or a property with future expansion possibilities, this home offers options that are increasingly difficult to find in Black Mountain. Schedule your showing and come see the possibilities for yourself.
