The lower level provides flexible living — a large family and dining area (a kitchen could easily be added), French doors to a lower patio, a seller-used fourth bedroom/flex room, and a sizable utility/storage room. Engineered White oak floors in lower level. Property is served by a whole-house Generac generator (propane). Located about 10 miles to groceries and just 10–15 minutes to Linville Falls, Linville Cavern, Linville Winery, and local Christmas tree farms. Exceptional opportunity to own acreage adjoining the Blue Ridge Parkway — ideal as a primary mountain home, weekend retreat, or high-end rental.
