Your affordably priced mountain getaway starts here. This charming cottage sits at the base of U.S. Highway 421's iconic ''Snake,'' the twisting ribbon of nearly 500 curves that draws motorcyclists and scenic drivers from across the country. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a vacation rental, or a cozy home to live in full-time, this property is full of potential. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in an easy-to-maintain 672 sq ft layout. Major updates are already done, including a durable metal roof and newer windows. A covered front porch is a great spot to take in the mountain views, and a separate utility room adds handy storage. The home is on public water, sits on an approximately quarter-acre lot, and is in a minimal-risk flood zone (Zone X). Annual county taxes are just $224. The interior is ready for your personal touch, giving you the chance to update and add value from day one. There are pretty views from the back of the home and plenty of wildlife for viewing. You're only minutes from downtown Mountain City, and Watauga Lake, Shady Valley, Damascus, and the Virginia Creeper Trail are all close by.
