About this home

OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE! Positioned among mature shade trees along a picturesque tributary of Cane Creek, this charming Bakersville cottage feels like something from another era-where summer evenings are spent on the porch, windows are open to the sound of flowing water, and life moves at a slower pace. Located just minutes from the heart of Bakersville, one of Western North Carolina's most beloved mountain towns, this beautifully updated two-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of character and comfort. Artists, craftsmen, musicians, and outdoor enthusiasts have long been drawn to Bakersville for its rich Appalachian heritage, thriving arts community, and proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Here, you'll find that same timeless mountain spirit woven throughout the property. Inside, the home welcomes you with warm wood finishes, exposed beams, and a traditional wood stove that serves as both a focal point and a reminder of simpler days. The open floor plan creates an inviting space for gathering with family and friends, while the oversized bedrooms provide room to relax and unwind. A spacious bathroom and thoughtful updates throughout make everyday living comfortable and convenient. While the home retains its historic mountain-cottage feel, major improvements have already been made, including recently installed central HVAC, offering modern comfort in every season. Outside, the creek becomes part of daily life. Sip your morning coffee beneath the shade trees, enjoy the gentle sound of flowing water from the yard, or spend an afternoon beside the stream watching the water pass by. The handcrafted wooden bridge adds a storybook touch and creates a memorable entrance to the property. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, mountain getaway, artist's retreat, or short-term rental opportunity, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: authentic Appalachian character, modern updates, and a setting that simply feels special.
