About This Home
As of July 20252bdr/1 1/2 bath cottage with great covered porch overlooking the Linville River. Home was flooded during Hurricane Helene. Demo on damaged portions of homes completed and ready for repairs/renovations. Excellent opportunity to fix up a home on the river for enjoying the cool summer evenings in the NC Mountains. Home does not have to be elevated per Avery County. Beautiful untouched wood ceiling in great room. Large main bedroom and smaller bunk bedroom area in the back that was the original structure....come see the possibilities here for yourself!! Land Harbor offers pickleball, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, golf, hiking, tennis, fishing (trout waters just steps away), dog park and so much more.
