No neighbors behind you, just the US National Forest. Hike from your back door to Blue Ridge Lake. Homes that back directly to the National Forest almost never come up in the Aska Adventure Area. This one sits in a gated neighborhood of exceptional homes, just 11 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, and it has been fully renovated from top to bottom. Walk out your door and hike through mature hardwood forest down to the lake. Come back to seasonal lake and mountain views from both levels of the home and from the large screened porch, the spot where morning coffee and evening conversations happen. Oversized 8-ft sliders pull that view into a large great room with a soaring vaulted ceiling. Everything that matters is new: kitchen, baths, appliances, cabinets, countertops, lighting, plumbing fixtures, window glass, HVAC, water heater and well pressure tank. Both bathrooms have double vanities with a separate water closet and shower area. Two bedrooms are on the main level. The lower level adds a third bedroom plus a possible bunk area, so there is room for 8. Outside, a brand-new 6-person hot tub sits at the forest's edge. Picture starlight, quiet, and nothing but trees in every direction. The home is professionally decorated and truly move-in ready, with no projects and no waiting. There's even a new hammock to relax in and enjoy your new home! Make it your private mountain escape, a quiet weekend for two, or the place everyone gathers. It is also positioned as a turnkey short-term rental, and a short-term rental investment package is available with three amenity scenarios and full revenue projections. Forest-front, renovated and 11 minutes to town. Schedule your showing before someone else walks that trail first.
