Between a babbling creek and a wooded backdrop, this peaceful Yancey County retreat offers both comfort and income potential. With 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a flexible bonus room the current owner used as their primary suite, this home offers space to spread out and settle in. Interior features include hardwood floors, built-in shelving, glass shower doors, and an instant-on water heater. Enjoy the sounds of Banks Creek from your covered porch or lounge on the brand-new Trex side deck—complete with hot tub and outdoor movie projector for the ultimate mountain getaway experience. This home was a highly rated short-term rental before becoming a primary residence, and STRs are allowed here—making it a great option for full-time living, part-time escape, or a turn-key rental investment. Other recent updates include luxury vinyl plank in the primary bedroom, new toilets, and more. Located on the west side of Yancey County, it’s an easy, scenic drive to both Burnsville and Asheville.
