Property Description
Established INCOME producing property! This Creek Front Gem is a proven short-term rental investment and a guest favorite on Airbnb, offering both personal enjoyment and strong income potential. Nestled in the serene beauty of North Carolina, this furnished 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort and mountain charm.

These natural features create an ideal setting that continues to attract short-term rental guests. The open layout offers ample living space with quality craftsmanship throughout, including towering vaulted tongue and groove ceilings in the great room, large windows that provide abundant natural light, and a gorgeous wood-burning rock fireplace.

Other highlights throughout the home are solid wood doors, beamed ceilings, low maintenance yard, and a private well. The seller currently uses Starlink for reliable internet service, making the property appealing for remote work and extended stays. Located near the Bartram Trail and USFS, this property offers a desirable combination of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility.
