Welcome to Old Fort living at its best. This single-level home offers easy, main-floor access and sits on a large, open lot with room to expand, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Outdoor enthusiasts will love direct access to the Fonta Flora Trail, with popular routes like Point Lookout, Bernard Mountain, and Kitsuma just 2 miles away. Camp Grier is a short drive, ride, or walk away, and Mill Creek — a stocked trout stream — runs right across the road. Importantly, this home is not in a flood zone and did not flood during Hurricane Helene.
Short-term rentals are allowed, making this an excellent opportunity for investors or anyone looking for a flexible mountain retreat. With no HOA, no known zoning restrictions, and no dues, you have the freedom to rent it out or use it as your own getaway.
Gardeners will love the established backyard plantings, including kiwi, apple trees, berries, willow, and banana plants, all within a partially fenced yard that offers privacy and space to grow. Relax on the covered front and back porches, or make use of the detached single carport and the multi-use workshop, complete with electricity and insulation and ready for your own customization.
Inside, the kitchen features granite countertops and ample cabinetry, while the living room offers warm wood floors and a cozy wood stove. The home includes three spacious bedrooms, one full bath, and a half bath with an attached laundry area, plus a bonus room for extra flexibility.
Conveniently located near Interstate 40, this home works well for commuters while still offering a true mountain-retreat feel. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a short-term rental investment, this Old Fort property is a rare find.
