Property Description
This Diamond in the rough screams "Serene Oasis"- with 5 sprawling acres tucked back on the mountain side this charming 3 bed 2 bath manufactured home boasts over 1200 spacious square feet of partially open concept living area on a permanent foundation. Just off the living room is a nice deck overlooking the log range layered mountain views. With some additional clearing you can see for miles across the valley of the Sugar Grove and Vilas Communities. Step out back to a large detached 1 car garage/workshop area that has just over 760 square feet of multipurpose usable space. Up the exterior stairs is an additional unfinished area just shy of 500 square feet that could be used for a game room, office or additional living space. All you need is a vision and a little TLC and the possibilities are nearly limitless. So if you're looking for seclusion to enjoy nature at its finest then this property would meet your expectations. Just a short 35 minute drive to Boone or 20 minutes to Mountain City, Banner Elk or Watauga Lake you will have all the amenities that the High Country has to offer right at your fingertips and YOU MUST COME SEE FOR YOURSELF. Please note that this area did sustain quite a bit of damage from Helene-The home itself didn't have damage but the edge of the covered front porch roof did. The sellers removed the porch and didn't add a roof back so if a new buyer may want to trim the trees to experience the beauty of the long range mountain views. Sellers have cleared the debris from Helene now and all that's needed is some additional gravel for accessibility from both driveways; one of which the neighbors have allowed the sellers to access another drive since the early 2000's with an informal word of mouth agreement. A shared road agreement would be more beneficial for the future . All Furniture will convey- The safe is negotiable...
