About this home
Here is the perfect vacation home located in the beautiful mountains of western NC! Nestled in the community of Linville Forest, this home is ready for you to turn it into your dream mountain paradise while also being 20 minutes from downtown Marion. Conveniently located within a reasonable drive to the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, this property offers easy access to some of Western North Carolina’s most popular outdoor destinations which include Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, and Linville Gorge hiking access. The main level is open, with a small kitchen tucked in the corner. The windows bring in natural light and the loft makes a cozy area for a bed. The bathroom is unfinished, but the owners left the tile and flooring, so finish it to your desire! The square footage in the bathroom has been counted in the main level, just note it is plywood flooring. Clear some trees and you will have a pretty view down the valley of North Cove. There is a beautiful flat rock in the backyard that could turn into an amazing patio spot. Walk down a short trail to an overlook over the valley. This is a cash deal, a septic is installed and the current owner has been catching rain water off the outbuilding and pumping it in the house to flush toilets and to use the sink.
