This classic mountain home is tucked away at the end of the road, surrounded by lush forests and bordered by acres and acres of community protected wilderness. The two private back decks make you feel immersed in the woods as you are lulled by the quiet rush of the stream located at the base of the small mountain this house is perched on. The Christmont community hosts annual retreats and camps giving you both the feeling and benefits of being away at a mountain retreat while at home in your own neighborhood. Take advantage of the private community pool, miles of community hiking trails and open community spaces. Then come back to your updated kitchen to enjoy a home cooked meal on the private decks, all while the whole group spreads out in this thoughtfully designed home. All of this while only being a few miles to everything the charming town of Black Mountain has to offer, and a quick 15 minute drive to Asheville.

Your Private Blue Ridge Mountain Estate — Turnkey & Plus Additional Lots A gorgeous log cabin plus 4 additional lots (for added privacy) gives you almost 8 acres of prime Blue Ridge mountain living. Solidly built with post-and-beam craftsmanship throughout, the home is legally classified as 3 bedrooms but 5 rooms are currently being used as bedrooms — each with its own private en-suite full bathroom. That layout makes it ideal for large family reunions, multi-family retreats, or groups booking a mountain getaway. This log cabin estate delivers prime Blue Ridge Mountain living just 35 minutes from Asheville and 20 minutes from Black Mountain, NC. The home sits inside Catawba Falls Preserve, one of the few gated, restricted-access communities in the area that permits short-term rental use. The current owners operate it as an active, income-producing Airbnb/VRBO, and a new owner can continue that same rental strategy or use it as a private full-time retreat. All furnishings are included (aside from a few personal items), making this a genuinely turnkey purchase — move in, or start hosting, immediately. See MLS 4408804 for 4 additional adjoining lots for extra privacy and buffer space | https://visiorephoto.hd.pics/1767-Catawba-Falls-Pkwy/idx Highlights: 4 additional lots Legally listed as a 3 bedroom, home has 5 rooms currently being used as bedrooms Post-and-beam log construction Gated, restricted-access neighborhood that allows short-term rentals Established, currently active Airbnb/VRBO income history Fully furnished, turnkey 35 minutes to Asheville, 20 minutes to Black Mountain

2.84-Acre Southern-Exposure Building Lot with Long-Range Views — Gateway Mountain, NC This 2.84-acre homesite on Sassafras sits in the gated Gateway Mountain community and offers true long-range mountain views with desirable southern exposure. The view site needs clearing, but the payoff is a buildable lot in one of Old Fort's most sought-after private communities — with the added benefit of short-term rental use permitted here. The lot is a short drive or walk to both Waterfall Park and Lake George, Gateway Mountain's signature amenities for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. Buyers should plan for well and septic installation, and new construction must meet a 1,275-square-foot minimum along with Architectural Review Committee approval. A $5,000 impact fee is due upon submitting building plans. You don't have to build right away — this lot also works well as a land investment to hold in a high-demand gated mountain community. Lots like this don't come up often! Note: an adjacent home on nearly 5 acres is also available — see MLS #4390066 for details. New Pictures Coming Soon
