Positioned on 2.51 acres of unrestricted land in the scenic Laurel Springs area of Ashe County, this mountain property offers privacy, versatility, and expansive views of the surrounding Blue Ridge landscape. The setting is quiet and rural, with rolling terrain and long-range mountain scenery that changes beautifully with the seasons.
The home features three bedrooms and one full bathroom. One of the bedrooms has been plumbed for use as a laundry room, allowing flexibility for buyers who may wish to prioritize laundry access, storage, or alternate functional space. The floor plan provides multiple configuration options depending on lifestyle needs, including primary residence, second home, or extended-stay use.
Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. The acreage offers space for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the open mountain air. The elevated setting provides mountain views and a peaceful backdrop ideal for relaxing mornings and quiet evenings. With no known restrictions, the land offers added flexibility for future use, subject to buyer verification of zoning, permits, and local regulations.
All furnishings may convey with the property for an additional cost, providing an optional turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking convenience or continuity of use.
Due to its location, acreage, and flexibility, the property may be suitable for buyers exploring use as a vacation home or income-producing property, including short-term or long-term rental opportunities, where permitted. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding rental regulations, licensing, and occupancy requirements.
