Private mountain retreat just 5 minutes from downtown Burnsville! With year-round long-range views of the
Black Mountains and Mt. Mitchell from the front porch, this is truly a unique offering. Situated on a gently sloped 2.28 acres in a peaceful setting, this one-level ranch offers a comfortable mountain
lifestyle. The home features an open floorplan that includes 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Recent improvements
include a new GE refrigerator, and stove, and a brand new vapor barrier in the basement. The property
layout, along with 2+ acres, provides rare flexibility. The existing well and septic are located near the
home, while the lower 1+ acres is open and cleared, offering strong potential for a second homesite or
small family compound (buyer to confirm). Paved access to the South and a 20-foot easement along the
eastern boundary support additional access points. An excellent opportunity for future expansion! Whether
you're a nature lover, compound seeker, or savvy investor, this property offers affordable mountain living
with land and iconic views—just minutes from town and a compelling alternative to Asheville-area pricing.
