Tucked away on just under five unrestricted acres, this cozy mountain cottage offers approximately 900 feet of Cane Creek frontage and plenty of room to roam. Just minutes from downtown Bakersville and near the North Toe River, it’s the perfect blend of privacy, peace, and potential. Whether you're dreaming of a big garden, a quiet getaway, or a creekside rental setup with cabins or RVs, this place is ready. The three-bedroom, one-bath home features one-level living with a warm, inviting layout and a sunny eat-in kitchen. Downstairs, an unfinished basement with inside and outside access is full of potential. Step out onto the flat, cleared land with two easy spots to dip your feet in the creek. Surrounded by the scenic peaks of Mitchell County and minutes from hiking trails, waterfalls, and Blue Ridge beauty. High-speed internet available from Zito Media. A true rustic retreat—just a scenic drive from Burnsville and Asheville.
