West Yancey. Easy access. Usable land. And the kind of flexibility that is getting harder and harder to find. Welcome to 900 Prices Creek Road, where a desirable location, a well-kept home, and a versatile property all come together on approximately 1.23 acres. Located on the highly sought-after west side of Yancey County, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home gives you the space and privacy of a mountain property without sacrificing convenience. You’re approximately 5 miles from downtown Burnsville, 2-4 miles from local schools, 3 miles to Altec and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville. With quick access to Hwy 19E and I-26, everyday errands, schools, medical care, and commuting are all within easy reach. And the land is just as appealing as the location. Unlike many mountain properties, this one offers a gently laying, usable yard with easy access - space you can actually use and enjoy. Inside, hardwood floors and a comfortable, functional floor plan create a warm and inviting feel. The living room features a vaulted ceiling and beautiful rock fireplace with a wood-burning stove, adding character, architectural interest, and another cozy heat source for colder, mountain evenings. The laundry room also provides convenient pantry and storage space. One of the features that truly sets this property apart is the flexibility in how you heat the home. A central HVAC system provides year-round heating and cooling, while an outdoor wood furnace provides an additional heat source and can also heat the home’s water. Hot water can be heated by either wood or electricity. Use the convenience of central HVAC, heat with wood, take advantage of both, or use the baseboard heat - the choice is yours. There is also no shortage of useful space. A main-level one-car garage makes everyday parking convenient, while the full drive-in basement provides an additional garage area along with abundant space for storage, tools, hobbies, equipment, a workshop, or whatever fits your lifestyle. An additional outbuilding gives you even more room for equipment, projects, or storage. Outside, there’s room for a garden, fire pit, outdoor entertaining, recreation, pets, projects, or simply enjoying your own piece of Western North Carolina. And with no HOA and no known deed restrictions, you have something increasingly difficult to find - the freedom to enjoy your property in the way that works for you. Some properties give you a great house. Others give you great land or a great location. 900 Prices Creek Road gives you a rare combination of all three - plus multiple garage areas, a basement, an outbuilding, multiple heating options, usable acreage, and exceptional access to the places you need to go. This is the kind of West Yancey property buyers wait for. Come see just how much 900 Prices Creek Road has to offer.
