Description

40K PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Beautifully maintained and updated mountain cottage. Serene setting with views, stream-fed pond, and almost 14 acres of private, unrestricted property. Of special note is the extra-large covered deck, great for three-season living, entertaining guests, & every day relaxing while listening to the melody of the stream. The 22KW generator can power the whole house and provides a sense of security during inclement weather. Most of the rear property line borders Headwaters State Forest. A garage addition provides room for two cars and a workshop. Above the garage, a finished, heated bonus room would make a perfect art studio, home gym, or office, as WIFI is available. An area for a second home site, shown in the photos, would offer long range views while still maintaining privacy. Property upgrades are detailed in the list provided or last photo. This home and property offer modern comfort and fabulous amenities, all less then 20 minutes from downtown Brevard.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 24, 2023
