NEW PRICE: $409,900! This Practically New Mars Hill Gem Is Now an Incredible Value
Shining with thoughtful design and modern mountain style, this 2023-built home just received a price improvement to $409,900 — making it one of the best opportunities in Mars Hill right now. Buyers have raved about the home’s quality, layout, and setting, and this new price wraps it up like a gift for the holidays.
Perfectly positioned on a quiet, no-through-traffic street about a mile from Main Street and Mars Hill University, the location blends small-town convenience with peaceful surroundings. Inside, the bright open floor plan features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a beautifully finished kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and soft-close cabinetry.
The main level includes the inviting living and dining areas plus a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and elegant bath. The lower level adds two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and one-car garage access — ideal for guests, family, or a separate work-from-home zone.
Outdoor living is exceptional: enjoy the covered front porch, sunny deck, and patio overlooking pastoral views with a peek-a-boo mountain backdrop. The fenced yard is perfect for pets or play.
With no rental restrictions, this home offers strong investment potential as well as everyday livability. Turn-key, nearly new, beautifully finished — and now priced to move at $409,900. Come see why this one stands out.
