Such a rare find~this gem is one of the first homes built in Gingercake Acres. Surrounded by Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge Wilderness area, nature is truly your retreat and playground. Nestled among towering rhododendrons on almost an acre, this historic hand-hewn breezeway cabin was once two separate cabins that were moved to this special place, and connected by a lovely breezeway. Living areas are warmed by stunning stone fireplaces, one with an insert and one with gas logs. Cozy, covered front porch is framed by locust posts. Separate guest room above the laundry/utility room once hosted visiting friends and family. Over 800 sq. ft. detached workshop would make a great studio/guest house. This lovely property extends across Rhododendron Drive to a gorgeous 1.26 acres, where the moss grows and the stream meanders. All this around the corner from the recreation club pool, tennis courts and playground. Mountain Electric, Well water, Dish Network, AT&T landline.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
