A mountain retreat made for gathering, and for getting away. This turnkey, fully furnished four-bedroom home in Almond pairs distinctive character with a flexible layout, giving everyone room to come together and space to unwind. One wing holds a private guest suite with a loft bedroom, its own bath and a separate living area. The main-level primary suite has its own kitchenette, and two spacious upstairs bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Now a successful vacation rental that sleeps 8 comfortably, the home works equally well for shared getaways, extended-family stays, or a personal escape with rental income. Partitions from its earlier three-unit layout are included, so it can be converted back into separate rental spaces for more income potential. The home sits on a well-kept country lane in a charming neighborhood set near a shared meadow and lake. The property is flanked by tiny springs, with the soothing sound of a brook below the porch. Fontana Lake is close by through Prince Boat Dock, Tsali's hiking and mountain biking trails are nearby, and the shops and restaurants of downtown Bryson City are a short drive away. With Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby, lake days, trail adventures and mountain-town outings are all within easy reach. Furniture, appliances, cookware, linens and decor are all included, so the home is ready for your own mountain stays or to keep running as a vacation rental from day one.
