About This Home

Charming Mountain Cottage on 1.36 Acres – Full of Character and Potential!

Looking for a solid mountain home you can make your own? This vintage 1984 cottage has good bones and a ton of potential, with a price that leaves room in your budget to bring it into the 2020s (or keep the retro vibes alive).

Located just 20 minutes from Boone and Appalachian State and under 15 minutes to Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, it’s got an awesome location with easy year-round access on a state maintained road with no POA.

Inside, you’ll find an open living, dining, and kitchen area with a gas fireplace, plus access to a big, partially covered deck complete with an outdoor fireplace (hello, mountain evenings!). The layout includes two bedrooms with walk-in closets, one with an ensuite, and a second full bath off the hallway. The kitchen is functional, has a pantry, and connects right into the main living space. Definitely livable as is, but could use some TLC and cosmetic love.

Downstairs, the unfinished basement offers even more space: one car garage, wood stove in the workshop, another full bath (added later), and a bonus room with baseboard heat. With its own entrance through the garage, this space could be a future rental or guest suite with a few updates.

Outside, the 1.36 acre lot is super usable with plenty of space for pets, gardens, or projects. There are two storage sheds (one wired), and water is available near the garden spot. Power was reportedly run there too, but buyers should verify.

This is your chance to grab a solid 1980s mountain home with character, charm, and a little room for improvement. Offered as-is and priced accordingly. Come see the potential!
