Welcome to your very own grown-up treehouse in the heart of Linville Land Harbor! Far from typical, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat proves that wonderful things really do come in small packages. Thoughtfully refurbished just two years ago, every inch has been designed to make the most of the space while creating a warm, inviting place to escape, unwind, and enjoy mountain life.
Inside, you'll find beautiful wood floors, quartz countertops, updated energy-efficient appliances, a custom walk-in shower, mini-split heating and air, and an on-demand propane water heater. Plumbing and electrical were also updated as part of the refurbishment, while wood-frame construction, added insulation, and a metal roof help provide year-round comfort. The studio-style layout is cozy and warm, yet offers flexibility for those who envision creating a more defined sleeping space.
Step outside to your own peaceful green space surrounded by nature and mountain air. Situated on a lot and a half with ample parking for several vehicles, this charming retreat offers a sense of privacy that's increasingly hard to find.
Linville Land Harbor is known for its incredible array of amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, fishing, hiking, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, billiards, and a variety of community activities. Whether you're looking for a memorable mountain getaway or a property with rental potential, this truly unique home is ready to enjoy.
And here's an added bonus: the seller will pay the $5,000 transfer fee on behalf of the buyer at closing. Come see why this little mountain treehouse may just steal your heart!
