Welcome to your private mountain escape in the peaceful Double Island community, where privacy, natural beauty, and opportunity come together. Tucked away on a secluded road, this property offers a desirable main-level living layout with an additional lower level, hardwood floors, and a serene setting surrounded by the beauty of Western North Carolina. With its existing infrastructure and plenty of character, this home is ready for someone with vision to bring it back to life. Currently in pre-foreclosure, it presents an exciting opportunity for investors, renovators, or buyers searching for a mountain retreat with room to create something truly special. While the home does require repairs and updates, its secluded setting, established footprint, and mountain charm provide an excellent starting point for your next project. The unfinished lower level offers approximately 580 additional square feet of space that is not included in the reported heated living area because the flooring is unfinished. Imagine a workshop, studio, recreation space, or future finished area—the possibilities are yours. Looking for your next renovation project, investment opportunity, or peaceful mountain getaway? Come take a look and imagine what this property could become!
