Property Description
Step into history with this beautifully converted single-family home, originally the Rocky Mt. one-room schoolhouse dating back to 1881! This charming property served the community until 1933, and in the 1940s, it was lovingly transformed into a single-family residence. Its unique legacy combines the timeless appeal of historical architecture with modern updates, making it a perfect choice for a serene mountain retreat, a cozy first home, or a fantastic vacation rental investment.
The home is fully furnished and turnkey, ready for immediate use as a personal getaway or Airbnb. With everything included—plates, utensils, cookware, and even three TVs—all you need to do is unpack and relax. You can even stay connected with reliable, high-speed Verizon Fios internet. The covered front porch provides inspiring views of "Sharp Top" and a tranquil atmosphere, enhanced by the bold, bubbling mountain creek that flows right on the property. Imagine sitting on the porch, surrounded by nature and listening to the calming sound of the creek—your own slice of mountain paradise.
Inside, spacious rooms and high ceilings enhance the sense of openness and charm, preserving the original structure's character while offering modern comfort. An inviting living room and an updated eat-in kitchen were added in the 1980s, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary convenience. A bedroom was also added, making the layout perfect for either short-term rental guests or anyone looking for a peaceful, rustic residence. And with this property only 3 miles from the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, it's ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts and vacationers alike.
This unique, turnkey property offers a rare combination of historic charm and modern comfort, all in a highly sought-after mountain setting. Don't miss out on this perfect investment or personal retreat, complete with its own mountain creek!
