About this House

Charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in the heart of Mars Hill! This ideally located property is just a short walk to downtown, Mars Hill University, the elementary school, walking trails, local shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Situated on a spacious lot, the property offers plenty of room for gardening, recreation, outdoor entertaining, or potential future expansion opportunities (buyer to confirm).

The home features a full lower-level apartment, creating excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income potential, or housing for university faculty, staff, or students.

A large detached outbuilding provides abundant space for storage, a workshop, hobbies, or additional uses.

Conveniently located just 0.5 miles from the Mars Hill University campus, this property offers a rare combination of charm, walkability, and investment potential in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable small-town settings.

    "We lived here year round for 12 years, & would NOT be leaving if not for our aging parents & their need for our care. All 4 seasons are a blessing & it makes choosing a favorite season impossible. Western Sunsets will rival any in the world! Read this list of possibilities for anyone who is interested in a second home (for any season) or a wonderful all year getaway. This cabin provides the real cabin experience, not a fabricated version. It's cozy, well heated & in a GREAT, if not THE perfect location on the mountain. It makes coming and going easy & fast by mountain living standards. You have year round access to main roads which are kept cleared & well maintained. There is little mountain traffic on Oakridge & you have a shorter drive in & out of the community than most other residents. If you play Golf, you may never find a place you like to play better than Wolf Laurel Country Club. There is little maintenance to do in an antique cabin as you do not want to compromise the integrity of the beautiful logs which are everlasting! The appliances are relatively new & water pressure is great! There is little yard maintenance due to the abundance of natural fauna. The cabin is a 5 minute drive to the Ski Resort. Mars Hill provides great Grocery Shopping @ Ingles, CVS, & the quaint & great restaurants are there, only 20 minutes away. Weaverville has other shopping & dining & is a 30 minute drive from the cabin. You are also 10 minutes from the TN/NC border & a short drive to Johnson City TN. Walking anywhere @ Wolf Laurel is an adventure in Nature. We are some of the people written about who take food & beverages to the through-hikers to meet people from ALL OVER THE WORLD on the Appalachian Trail which is a 2 mile hike from the cabin. On a personal note: I will forever"
