Description
MOTIVATED SELLER and SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE! This enchanting Arts & Crafts cottage offers the perfect blend of mountain charm, privacy, and natural beauty. Tucked into the cove of Celo Knob—the 10th highest mountain east of the Mississippi—and perched at approximately 3100ft, the home enjoys cool mountain breezes while sitting just below the typical snow line. Surrounded by a lush rhododendron forest, this beautifully crafted home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1 half bath with warm wood finishes throughout, including wormy chestnut floors on the lower level and white pine floors upstairs. The open floor plan offers inviting living spaces with a cozy fireplace, breakfast bar, built-in features, pantry, walk-in closets, and an abundance of natural light through custom Anderson double-pane windows and doors. Step outside to enjoy the spacious deck, enclosed porch, or welcoming front porch, where you'll be immersed in the peaceful sights and sounds of the mountains. Summer offers a secluded treehouse-like setting, while winter reveals breathtaking long-range mountain views and astonishing close up views of Celo Mountain. A gentle stream and waterfall add to the property's storybook charm, and each spring you'll have the rare opportunity to witness the magical Blue Ghost fireflies that illuminate the surrounding forest in April. Recent updates provide added peace of mind and convenience, including a whole-house generator hookup, Starlink internet, radon mitigation, newly restained decks and exterior, and a new private well with a UV light filtration system. The fully finished daylight basement provides additional living space with both interior and exterior access, while the detached garage offers convenience and ample storage. Residents of The Cove at Celo Mountain enjoy exceptional community amenities, including multiple waterfalls, hiking and walking trails, a stocked trout pond, picnic area, and a community fire pit. HOA services include leaf and snow removal and maintenance of the paved roads, while underground utilities preserve the community's pristine mountain setting. Whether you're searching for a full-time home, a peaceful mountain retreat or an income producing property (monthly rentals are allowed), this one-of-a-kind property offers an unforgettable lifestyle surrounded by the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Property sustained no damages from Helene and is not at flood risk.
