About this home

Tucked away in a remote gated mountain community, this unique property offers the perfect blend of privacy, peace, and endless possibilities. Set on 0.74 acres and including 5 additional buildable lots for a total of 4.21 acres, this rare opportunity gives you room to expand, invest, or simply enjoy your own private mountain retreat. The property features a beautifully rustic main cabin with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, complete with a cozy fireplace that creates the perfect mountain-living atmosphere. A separate additional living space offers 1 bedroom and 1 full bath, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or income-producing rental potential. A versatile shed on the property could easily become a studio, workshop, gym, playhouse, sauna, or extra storage space — the possibilities are truly endless. The spacious deck is also perfectly suited for adding a hot tub and creating your own relaxing outdoor oasis. Surrounded by nature and mountain views, you’ll love spending evenings on the large partially covered wraparound deck or gathering around the fire pit under the stars. Enjoy the peaceful wooded setting and experience true mountain living at its finest. The community also features an inground pool, clubhouse, and picnic area, all overlooking breathtaking views from approximately 2,500 feet in elevation. Adventure is always close by with South Mountain State Park and Lake James State Park just minutes away, offering hiking and biking trails, lake beach access, swimming, boating, fishing, and picnicking. Downtown Morganton is also nearby for local shopping, dining, and entertainment. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, short-term rental investment, or a combination of all three, this mountain property offers a lifestyle and opportunity that’s hard to find.
