Set near South Mountain State Park, this private mountain retreat offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to Asheville, Hickory, Greenville, and Charlotte. Enjoy sweeping 60-mile mountain views from the expansive back deck and bedrooms. The 14+ acre property includes an additional building lot offering options for added privacy, investment, or future construction. The meticulously maintained home has three main-level bedrooms (including the primary) and an open living area that connects the kitchen and living room to the back deck. Downstairs, an expansive entertaining area includes a kitchenette, wood-top island, and wood-burning fireplace. A bonus room with four built-in bunks provides additional sleeping space. French doors open to a covered hot tub area and fire pit-an inviting place to unwind and spend time with family and friends. A spacious, level yard between the front entrance and detached garage is a rarity in most mountain homes but here it welcomes play, gardening and entertaining. The detached heated/cooled oversized garage has multiple functions as a shop, work-out or even a game room. Yellowtop Mountain Estates, a gated mountain community, is a hidden gem with large, private estate lots centrally convenient to I-40 and I-77 and many mountain towns and destinations.
