A-Frame Mountain Retreat on 10+/- Acres — Gated Community, Turnkey & Rental-Ready

Escape to the mountains without sacrificing convenience. This beautifully updated A-frame sits on 10+/- private acres just minutes from Old Fort, Black Mountain, and I-40 — offering the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Additional building sites with paved road access make this a rare opportunity for future expansion or investment.

Inside: Main-floor living makes everyday life easy, while the spacious great room — anchored by a cozy fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows — frames uninterrupted mountain views as well as tongue and groove ceilings . French doors from both bedrooms open onto an expansive deck, blurring the line between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. Escape to the loft you can use as reading area, office or even a guest bedroom. Both bathrooms have recently been updated. hardwood floors in the great room and new carpet in the bedrooms and loft area. Mountain views greet you in the great room and from the amazing deck.

A Standout Bonus: The fully remodeled garage doubles as a stunning covered recreation space — just raise the door and let the mountain air in. Perfect for entertaining, a home gym, or a creative studio. Or easily turn into heated square footage.

The Community: Located in Gateway Mountain, a thriving gated community spanning 3,000+ acres and bordering a 12,000-acre conservatory along the Hickory Nut Mountain range. Residents enjoy scenic ponds, cascading waterfalls, and picnic areas — with trails to Old Fort just beyond the gates. This home currently has hi-speed fiber optic with Starlink as a backup. Working from home is easy from here. Enjoy the community TGIF events on every Friday evening at Lake George from April to October. Very active community with several full time residents.

The Opportunity: Sold turnkey and ready for immediate use — whether as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing rental. Short-term rentals are permitted, and with peak Fall Leaf season approaching, this home is primed to start generating revenue right away. PS This home has a 3 bedroom septic making adding heated space for an additional bedroom (for example the attached garage) easy!

Private. Polished. Profitable. Schedule your showing today — homes like this in Gateway Mountain don't come along often.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
