Description

Welcome to MT Nest – A Riverfront Retreat on the New River!
Nestled along the tranquil waters of the New River, MT Nest offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and incredible outdoor adventure. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home boasts prime river frontage, where you can cast a line right from your property and reel in all three types of trout—a dream for anglers and nature lovers alike!
This property is an established and beloved getaway with a strong rental history generating around $25K-$35K annually and consistent 5-star reviews. The current owners often use it for friends and family, so there is potential for greater rental income. Thoughtfully maintained, the home has had only two owners since its construction, and the seller still holds the original blueprints, preserving its history and character. The home is being sold furnished with minor exclusions.
Inside, you'll find a cozy, inviting space with an open floor plan designed to capture the serene environment. Whether you're enjoying coffee on the deck, unwinding by the fire, or wading into the cool waters just steps from your door, MT Nest is the perfect escape.
Located less than 20 minutes from downtown Boone, hiking, and outdoor adventures, this property is an exceptional personal retreat or investment opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of riverfront paradise—schedule your showing today! -- The Lower section of the parcel is located in a flood zone; however, the section of the parcel where the home is located is not. The seller is not required to carry flood insurance on the home. FEMA flood maps could be subject to change post-Helene.

    "Close to highway, I’d say it’s about a mile from a bus stop. Close to stores and Brookshire Park and BooneShine Brewery. One con is there is only one switchback road into and out of neighborhood."

  • Suzie S.
    "I am a biz owner here & have seen things change dramatically in past 12 years. No long-term rental housing unless you are a student or uber-wealthy, and you don't own a pet. Completely over-saturated with corporate-owned, short-term Air BnB's & VRBO's. Summer traffic is unreal along with roadwork. Tourists can be incredibly rude & the Mack trucks, semis & loggers on the 2-lane highways are dangerous. Need to own a helicopter or be one of the uber-wealthy who has access to the golf club heli to & from the airport. "

    "I’m retired, no commute. However, the college provides a lot of traffic. This improves in the summer months, and the time between thanksgiving and the new year. It’s a small price to pay to live in this area."

    "I live in college housing in town, so it is very accessible via walking or bus. However, I have lived in neighborhoods further away from downtown. In those neighborhoods, it is much more necessary to have a car. But I’m all areas, everyone is cautious of walkers, and I always have felt safe walking my dog, both at night and during the day (even as a female). "
