Nearly new, turnkey 2023 mountain retreat with clean inspection lets you skip the work and start enjoying the mountains immediately and price correction saves you $44k! Tucked away on 1.77 private acres just minutes from downtown Mars Hill, you'll enjoy year-round mountain views, a vaulted screened porch that quickly becomes your favorite room, and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away while remaining only 15 minutes from Weaverville and 25 minutes from Asheville. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or turnkey investment, this home offers exceptional value, low-maintenance living, and immediate enjoyment from day one. The open-concept main level features a gas fireplace, granite kitchen, stainless appliances, and a spacious primary suite. The finished lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, private entrance, covered deck, and a bonus room already plumbed for a future kitchenette, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental flexibility. Originally built as the owner's personal residence rather than a speculative build, the home reflects thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and details chosen for everyday comfort and long-term enjoyment. Spend your weekends exploring Bailey Mountain Preserve, skiing at Hatley Pointe, hiking the Appalachian Trail, floating the Laurel River, or enjoying the restaurants, brewery, coffee shops, and university charm of downtown Mars Hill, all just minutes away!
