So what is a mountain get-a-way? Is it a weekend camping trip? Is it going into the wood primitive style with a tent and sleeping bag? Or are you looking for something with more creature comforts but the thought of a 1500 - 2,000 sqft home is just too big and too much to take care of while you're not there. Well here's where this cute little log cabin park model comes in! Could you live here full time? Sure! But where this home shines is where folks are looking to take weekends, and vacations to escape from their reality for a bit. Got your attention? Well lets talk about what's available. Community water and septic system are in place so no need to worry about using leaves for TP and you have a water supply on hand. 1 bedroom, could sleep more if you got creative with a pull out sofa...or blow up mattress for the floor! Theres also a bonus room. Nice kitchen for cooking up those steaks and fridge to put those cold treats in. Did I mention that the stove is propane? Now why is that important, well if you are escaping to the mountains during the winter and the power goes out, you can still cook. Oh, and theres gas logs too!. Out side we have a covered deck in case you want to grill in rainy weather, cause lets face it, its hard to keep a fire going when its raining at the camp site. Also has a fire pit for those Blue Ridge Mtn smores. (instead of a Hershey bar try it with a Reese's Cup, you'll thank me later!). City entertainment you ask? Now look you're looking for a place to get a way from all that arent you? Oookay I'll help you out. Grocery wise you'll have a Walmart which is gonna take you about 30 min to get there. City life? Asheville is about an hour and a half away and the same for Boone. Charlotte is gonna take about 2 and a half hours. Lake James is a little under a hour and a half. So check it out! I think its a pretty swell place and should be looked at if a mountain getaway is what you're looking for! Must be accompanied by a Licensed NC Real Estate Agent for all viewings.

OVER 3,000 SQ FT HOME ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LIBRARY! You'll be hard pressed to find something nicer at under $85/sq ft. And have you looked at costs to construct? This has that space you have been looking for at a bargain price. Have your agent run a search for you and see if they can find anything even close to comparable that isn't a trailer at that price per square foot. Not to mention this place was built 100 years ago when they cared about the details. Built-ins, tall ceilings, nooks, half-hexagon windows, amazing wood floors, etc. This place oozes with character. The front of the home is south facing so on those long winter days light floods the living room. You just have no idea how good that is for the soul. The location is incredible as well. The home is directly across from the library. You don't get much better neighbors. And it is only a 2 or 3 minute walk to the cute little shops and restaurants of downtown Spruce Pine. Beautiful sunset views from the front porch. Also a good place to take in the 4th of July fireworks! Take a look and make an offer! Agent is broker/owner.
