Arguably the best view anywhere in Western NC! These 50 +/- acres have a eastern slope giving way to a view spanning over 4 counties making for breathtaking sunrises. The original structure was built in the 80s as just a place to get away. The two story addition was built in 2000 and the middle connecting the two was constructed in 05-06. While the home has no power, there is a generator to power the lights and also the pump for the water system. Water is collected from a spring in a reservoir and pumped to a smaller holding tank above the home creating a gravity fed system. There can be no "drive-bys." There are two locked gates and the road up is currently ATV only. Must be accompanied by a Real Estate Agent.
