TThis prime end-unit, three-bedroom, three-bath condominium is a rare mountain retreat offering the ultimate blend of privacy, natural beauty and outdoor adventure. At the top of Adams Apple Drive, the residence enjoys a serene setting with bold, cascading waterfalls and pristine native brook trout waters just beyond the deck, plus exclusive direct access to the Grandfather Profile Trail, making it a dream for anglers, hikers and nature lovers alike. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this peaceful getaway invites immediate enjoyment. The expansive main-level deck captures the soothing sounds of the stream, while the spacious upstairs primary suite offers tranquil views, a private balcony and the ideal place to wake up surrounded by nature. The main level features a bright, updated kitchen, a large guest bedroom with direct deck access, a full bath, and a convenient laundry area. Recent upgrades enhance form and function, including new windows throughout, a new stackable dryer, and dishwasher, a freshly painted exterior, and a professionally sealed crawl space. Additionally, the shared well system has been updated with a new tank, pump and lines. With ample parking, additional storage beneath the home, and unmatched access to some of the High Country’s best hiking and fly-fishing, this condominium is as practical as it is picturesque. It also represents a strong potential investment opportunity as a vacation rental, even with missed months due to Hurricane Helene. Please note: this is an active vacation rental so no drive-bys, please.
