About This Property

Welcome to nearly 17 acres of unrestricted mountain property offering privacy, usable land, and endless potential in the heart of Burnsville. This unique property combines a comfortable home with the kind of acreage that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially with this level of accessibility and versatility. Tucked into a peaceful setting, the property provides a rare opportunity to enjoy both seclusion and convenience while being surrounded by the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

The home features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with a functional layout and inviting living spaces that make it well-suited for full-time living, a second home, or even an income-producing rental. The interior offers a warm and comfortable atmosphere, with spaces that can easily be updated or personalized over time to match your vision. While the home itself provides a solid foundation, the true value of this property extends far beyond the structure.

The owners have taken excellent care of the home and completed significant updates, making it move-in ready and worry-free for years to come. Major improvements include a new roof installed in 2021, an updated heat pump in 2021, a new well pump along with an added filtration system, plus a spout for easy access to natural spring water, and a new hot water heater installed in 2023. These thoughtful upgrades ensure comfort and efficiency while preserving the charm and character of this mountain property.

The land is where this property truly shines. With multiple areas of usable terrain, established logging roads, and a natural flow throughout, the property offers excellent accessibility across the acreage. Whether you’re walking the land, exploring potential homesites, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, you’ll find that the layout allows for a variety of uses without feeling restricted by steep or unusable sections. The existing road system makes it easy to navigate and opens up possibilities for expansion or further development.

This property is ideal for those looking to create a homestead, mini farm, or private mountain retreat. There is ample space for gardens, animals, workshops, or additional structures, giving you the flexibility to design a lifestyle that fits your needs. The natural setting provides a sense of calm and privacy that is hard to replicate, making it a perfect escape from the pace of everyday life.

One of the most valuable aspects of this property is the freedom that comes with no restrictions. This allows for a wide range of uses, including additional homesites, guest homes, recreational use, or long-term investment potential. Whether you’re looking to build out a multi-generational property, create income opportunities, or simply hold the land as it continues to appreciate, the options here are truly open-ended.

Whether you're looking to spread out, bring animals, establish a self-sufficient lifestyle, or create your own vision in the mountains, this property offers the flexibility to do so. The combination of acreage, usability, and location makes it a standout opportunity for buyers seeking more than just a home.

Conveniently located while still offering a sense of seclusion, this property allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful mountain living with access to nearby amenities, shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. Opportunities like this, with nearly 17 acres of unrestricted land and room to grow, are becoming increasingly rare in this area.
