About This Home

Welcome to Nature’s Calling, a beautifully updated mountain retreat within the gated community of Powder Horn Mountain, where modern comfort meets the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains. On an oversized double lot totaling more than an acre, this fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bath home offers a rare turnkey opportunity to immediately enjoy mountain living or continue generating income through its already successful vacation rental program, with approximately $38,000 in gross rental income received in 2025. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining, the home blends cozy mountain charm with modern conveniences throughout. The inviting main level features a spacious kitchen and dining area, a warm living room centered around a gas fireplace, along with a guest bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful accommodations, including a private king suite with its balcony overlooking the tranquil mountain setting. An additional guest bedroom offers two full beds, creating ample space for family and guests. Every bedroom is equipped with flat screen TVs and Roku streaming for a seamless guest experience. Outdoor living is equally inviting, featuring expansive gathering spaces, outdoor furnishings, a hot tub beneath the stars, and a hardline gas connection for grilling and entertaining. Whether enjoying crisp mountain mornings with coffee on the deck or relaxing after a day of adventure, the outdoor spaces were designed to embrace the High Country lifestyle year-round. Additional upgrades include newer mini-split systems for efficient heating and cooling, high-speed fiber internet through Skyline SkyBest, an EV charging station and a new Rinnai tankless water heater ready for installation. Being offered fully furnished, this property is move-in and rental-ready from day one. Powder Horn Mountain is beloved for its incredible amenity package and natural beauty, offering owners and guests access to a swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, clubhouse, game room, chapel, campground, playground, scenic ponds, gated entry, full-time maintenance services and miles of hiking trails throughout the community. Whether you are searching for a private mountain escape, full-time residence or income-producing investment property, Nature’s Calling delivers a blend of comfort, lifestyle and turnkey convenience in the heart of High Country.
