Property Description
Breathtaking, year-round long-range mountain views take center stage on this multi-acre estate in highly desirable Little Switzerland! Located less than a mile from the village and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this unique 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom property offers the ultimate multigenerational compound or a lucrative multi-unit investment opportunity. The clever layout functions beautifully as two separate homes, boasting a main-level split-bedroom plan and a fully finished lower level complete with its own kitchen, living area, and private entrance. The architectural character shines with soaring cathedral ceilings, cherry paneling, open floor plan, historic stone materials, and fiber-cement siding. Unwind on the massive, covered porches overlooking the cascading ridges, or enjoy the beauty of the vibrant flowers. There is plenty of sunny space to start your own gardens or another home. This property is equipped with a backup generator that powers both homes for guaranteed peace of mind. This is a versatile mountain sanctuary with endless potential!
