Tucked just off the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, this quaint mountain cottage is a true hidden gem in the heart of North Carolina’s high country. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful weekend retreat or looking to downsize into something cozy and manageable, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and mountain living. Step inside to an inviting 2BR/1BA layout featuring an open galley kitchen, dining area, and living space anchored by a beautiful granite gas-log fireplace. A bright, spacious sunroom extends your living area and leads to a covered patio ideal for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or gatherings around the outdoor firepit. Two outbuildings expand your possibilities: One fully equipped with electric, plumbing, heat, and a washer/dryer — perfect for a workshop, studio, or hobby space. A second dedicated to extra storage. The property features thoughtful landscaping, a concrete driveway, and a long list of new upgrades beginning in 2017 (see attached list). It’s move-in ready and designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Here, adventure and serenity meet. Spend your days hiking the Parkway, exploring shops in Sparta, sipping wine by the river, or taking a short trek to Stone Mountain. This is mountain living at its most effortless — and opportunities like this don’t come around often.
