Nestled in the picturesque South Toe community of Yancey County, this beautifully updated ranch-style home offers the perfect blend of mountain living and modern comfort. Located less than a half mile from the scenic South Toe River, the property is surrounded by some of Western North Carolina's most sought-after outdoor destinations, including Mount Mitchell and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The area continues to grow with the ongoing reconstruction of the Toe River Campground, Mount Mitchell Golf Course, and the bridge connecting Blue Rock Road to the South Toe community. This inviting home features two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and has been thoughtfully remodeled with a spacious open-concept floor plan, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been remodeled with an Italian Tuscany style theme. The former two-car garage has been professionally converted into a large, heated bonus room, adding approximately 400 square feet of living space. This versatile space could easily serve as a family room, media room, home office, fitness area, or recreation room. Comfort is ensured year-round with electric baseboard heat throughout the home. A recently installed Pittsburgh Huron wood-burning stove, complete with a blower system, efficiently heats the home while significantly reducing the need for supplemental electric heat. Following Hurricane Helene, the home experienced minor water seepage into the crawlspace through foundation vents due to exceptional storm runoff. The issue was addressed thoroughly and professionally. The vapor barrier was removed, the crawlspace was allowed to dry completely over a six-week period, and new floor insulation and a replacement vapor barrier along with mold fogging for prevention of any further mold. To further enhance drainage and protect the property, a substantial French drain system was added along the rear of the home. The drain measures approximately 24 inches deep and 16 inches wide, includes 4-inch perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, and is connected to the underground rear gutter drainage system. These improvements provide enhanced protection against future heavy rainfall events. Aside from the crawlspace seepage, the home remained structurally sound and weathered the storm well. Designed for convenient one-level living, all primary living areas are located on the main floor, making this home ideal for a variety of lifestyles. Additional storage is available in both the detached shed, laundry room, and an extra out building located at the bottom of the driveway. Just a short walk away, you'll find the beautiful South Toe River, where you can enjoy fishing, relaxing by the water, and experiencing the natural beauty that makes this area so special. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a mountain retreat, or a vacation getaway, this exceptional property offers comfort, versatility, and easy access to the breathtaking scenery and outdoor recreation of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This former mountain farm is the perfect place to build a vacation home or a secluded year-round home. The 1920s era farmhouse has not been lived in many years and is likely a teardown. A small stream runs alongside of Will Wilson Road which divides the property. The approximately 15 +/- acres lay surprisingly well and are mostly usable. The approximately 2-acre tract located across the road from the house has a former home site with a source of water located nearby. The property also has saleable timber that could be harvested if desired. This listing offers numerous potential home sites throughout the property. The barn located on the west side of the property needs some roof repairs but is otherwise in good condition and has had electricity run to it. Several acres of pasture surround the barn and could easily be bush hogged to bring back into full use. The beautiful mountain town of Burnsville is 17 miles away. Burnsville features multiple restaurants, grills and even a popular brewery. If you love the outdoors, this property is the place for you. The pristine waters of Cane River are a short 5-minute drive away. Hunting, fishing, hiking and camping are in abundant supply without even leaving the county. If your dream is a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle, you need to see this property.

Tucked away in the heart of Yancey's sought-after South Toe community, this charming small mountain getaway offers the opportunity to create your own peaceful retreat. Situated on 2.05± acres, the property features a creek flowing behind the home, with the acreage extending across the creek into a wooded setting that invites exploration, relaxation, and the sounds of nature. Conveniently located on state-maintained Lower Browns Creek Road, you'll enjoy easy year-round access with just a short drive to Town of Burnsville. Originally built in 1967, this property offers approximately 400 square feet and is ready for its next chapter. A new roof installed in late 2025 provides an excellent start for the next owner, while recent improvements by the current owner include drywall work & fresh paint in portions of home. The home features a covered front porch, living room, kitchen with electric range and refrigerator, one bedroom, a bonus room, and a bathroom that needs to be renovated and awaits completion. An additional room located just off the kitchen serves as the laundry and storage area. (Please use caution when accessing this room during showings, as it is currently being used for storage and has not been renovated.) This property is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and customize a mountain retreat, investment property, or vacation getaway. The home will require repairs and updates, including the installation of a permanent heating system. According to the owner, the original propane furnace is no longer in use, the propane tank has been removed, and the existing ductwork requires repair. Owner currently uses a space heater when he visits in the winter. Because there is currently no functioning permanent heat source, the property is not being marketed as having heated square footage. A window air conditioning unit in the living room provides seasonal cooling. Water is supplied by a spring located on the neighboring property, with deeded water rights that will are provided in the MLS documents for buyer review. According to the owner, the septic system is located behind the home. Septic records have been requested from the Yancey County Health Department but have not yet been received. Buyers are strongly encouraged to conduct a septic inspection, along with any other inspections they deem appropriate, to fully evaluate the property. The property is located within a mapped flood plain. According to the owner, Hurricane Helene altered the geography of the creek behind the home; however, to the best of the owner's knowledge, floodwaters did not enter the residence. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding flood zone designation, flood insurance requirements, and any future improvements they may wish to make. Due to the property's current condition, including the absence of a permanent heating system, cash or renovation financing may be the most appropriate financing options. If you've been searching for an affordable mountain property with a beautiful creek, usable acreage, and the opportunity to bring your own vision to life, 172 Lower Browns Creek Road is ready for its next owner. Property is being sold AS-IS. Buyers are encouraged to perform all inspections and due diligence prior to closing, no septic records on file with Yancey County Health Department.

Some mountain properties have views, others offer water, usable land, or an easy drive to town. This one has all four and that combination is what makes it genuinely rare in Western North Carolina. Approximately 20+/- acres of open, rolling pasture unfold beneath mountain views in every direction. A creek-fed pond of roughly 1.5 acres sits near the center, while more than 2,000 feet of Bolens Creek forms the south boundary with full water access. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered porch as mist rises from the pond, and evenings filled with the sound of the creek, wildlife in the fields, and summer fireflies. Despite the peaceful setting, downtown Burnsville is only four minutes away, the grocery store is two minutes away, and Asheville is approximately forty minutes away. At the center of the property is a custom timber frame home completed in 2024. Deep red cedar siding, a cupola, and a long covered front porch create a memorable exterior. Inside, cathedral tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed timber posts and beams, oversized windows, and iron ring chandeliers create a bright, warm living space. The navy kitchen features a farmhouse apron sink, six-burner gas range, cedar sliding barn door, and walk-in pantry. Designed with both comfort and quality in mind, the home includes no-VOC ECOS stains and finishes, Greenguard Gold-certified flooring, spray foam insulation, whole-home water filtration, a whole-home generator, tankless water heater, underground 1,000-gallon propane tank, and Charter high-speed fiber. The home offers three bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. The primary suite includes a premium stone soaking tub and walk-in closet. The lower level includes an oversized bedroom with tall ceilings and a large walk-in closet, a second bedroom, and a spacious flex room ideal for homeschooling, an office, studio, or playroom. The rear covered porch overlooks the pond and pastures and includes two infrared heaters for year-round enjoyment. For equestrian or homestead use, the property is truly turnkey. Connected to the home is a fully finished, insulated barn with six European-style stalls, Nelson automatic waterers, heated wash bay, generous tack room, Dutch doors to pasture, and a picture window overlooking the stall aisle from the living area. The land is fenced and cross-fenced with in-ground pasture waterers, run-in shelters, and frost-free hydrants. An established orchard includes 27 fruit trees, including apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots. The organically managed homestead also includes an enclosed raised-bed garden, two chicken coops with solar automatic doors, garden shed, children’s playscape, and covered sandbox. A substantial pole barn provides a concrete-floored main building, enclosed lean-tos, three overhead doors including a 16-foot RV-height door, conditioned flex rooms, workshop, spacious loft, and 220V service. In a scenic spot above the pond, a separate 16-by-24 schoolhouse is heated, cooled, and filled with windows, offering flexible space for a homeschool room, office, studio, or guest retreat. This is a rare property that ends the compromise. The views without isolation. The land without the impracticality. The privacy without the long drive to town. Whether your vision is horses, homesteading, room to breathe, or simply waking up to the Blue Ridge every morning, it was built with intention and obvious love, and it shows even better in person than in photographs.

Located on Windy Gap Road near the Madison/Yancey County line, this 49.38-acre tract sits in a highly desirable mountain corridor between Asheville, NC and Johnson City, TN.

With no restrictions, no HOA, and no city taxes, the possibilities are wide open. What sets this property apart from typical raw mountain land is the value already built in. A private gravel road is in place, giving access through the property, and underground power runs along the road corridor. Those are costly, time-consuming improvements that can make a major difference when evaluating mountain acreage. Multiple potential homesites offer breathtaking mountain and winter views, with a mix of hilly, rolling, sloped, and level areas throughout the tract. This is property has that true Western North Carolina mountain feel buyers are looking for. The location is another major advantage. Enjoy the peace and privacy of a large mountain tract while still being approximately 5 miles from I-26 and about 9 miles from Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort, formerly Wolf Laurel. Hatley Pointe has brought renewed energy to the area with skiing, dining, mountain recreation, and a growing resort atmosphere. Nearby Wolf Laurel Country Club adds even more lifestyle appeal with golf, mountain views, and established community amenities in the surrounding area. This is the kind of location that works for a second home, short-term rental concept, private retreat, or long-term land investment. The property is also in Yancey County, outside city limits, with no zoning, giving buyers additional flexibility for residential, recreational, agricultural, timber, development, tree farm, or private estate use. Timber was logged over 20 years ago, offering potential present and future timber value. The existing road is currently maintained in connection with access to the upper tract/cell tower area, which benefits access and helps preserve the road corridor over time. From sunrise views and wooded trails to future cabins, estate homes, tiny homes, glamping sites, vacation rentals, or a private mountain sanctuary, this tract has the scale and setting to support something special. Large acreage near Mars Hill, Hatley Pointe, Wolf Laurel, I-26, Asheville, and the Tennessee border continues to be increasingly hard to find, especially with underground utilities and road access already in place. This is more than land. It is a chance to own a piece of the Blue Ridge Mountains with privacy, infrastructure, views, flexibility, and long-term potential. Bring your boots, your vision, and your imagination - this mountain tract is ready for its next chapter.

Tucked into the gentle folds of near hills at the feet of the Black Mountains, this quiet retreat unfolds across nearly six acres of pastures, woods, and cleared garden land. A robust creek marks the property’s beginning, its voice a constant, soothing presence that reaches the home and lingers in the air. Tiny streams thread through the acreage, whispering through the grass and trees. At the heart of the land sits a lovely two-bedroom home, where a wood stove offers deep winter warmth and a mini split provides summer comfort. The kitchen is decently sized, well-suited for putting up the garden’s harvest or simmering a slow meal while the creek runs beyond the window. One section of the property is shaded by enormous old trees, standing like patient elders beside a very old but still sturdy barn, weathered, honest, and full of stories. The true soul of the home, however, is the screened back porch. From here, the view rolls out across the yard, over the stream, and off toward the semi hidden hills. It is the kind of place where morning coffee lasts an hour and evening fireflies keep you company. Just steps away, a separate one-bedroom, one-bath cabin offers its own magic: a large sliding door frames the same sweeping vista of stream, yard, and far hills, bringing the outside in. Whether as a guest retreat, an artist’s studio, or a quiet escape, it mirrors the main home’s best feature: an unbroken connection to this peaceful, water-song land.
