About this home

A true 1978 mountain time capsule in the heart of sought-after Sandy Mush. Set on 2.6 wooded acres with stunning long-range mountain and valley views, 74 Lanzi Ledge feels wonderfully tucked away while still offering the connectivity needed for full-time living. The 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is full of original character, from warm wood-paneled walls and vintage kitchen details to the substantial stone fireplace with raised hearth anchoring the main living space. A wall of windows frames the surrounding landscape, while doors open directly to an expansive covered deck-the kind of place made for morning coffee, summer storms rolling across the mountains, and evenings watching the light change over the valley. Outside, the property continues to deliver. A spring-fed creek runs through the acreage, alongside a 2-story barn, outdoor shower, and mature woods. Trails meander through the property and lead to a potential second flat building area or space for a garden. The home is served by a private well, with electric and fiber internet through French Broad Electric Membership Corporation, plus a seller-installed roof-mounted solar array. A partially shared driveway leads to the tucked-away homesite. Whether you preserve its retro mountain character, make it your own over time, or simply enjoy it exactly as it is, this property offers flexibility as a full-time residence, WNC getaway, or potential short-term rental. Properties with acreage, long-range views, privacy, and this much personality rarely come to market in Sandy Mush. Seller financing may be available. ServePro evaluated back corner after a downspout disconnected over the winter - high moisture levels found in isolated area and estimate is available.
