Located in the center of the High Country, in easily accessible Mill Ridge, this property is just minutes away from all of the great features and activities in the region. Priced to sell with needed upgrades and renovations in mind, this can become a true mountain get away or a terrific rental property. The Mill Ridge community features a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, and hiking trails along the former ski area that was a popular ski mountain decades ago. Walking and biking are popular activities in the community. Nearby are the terrific attractions of spectacular Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the special mountain towns of Banner Elk, Boone, Blowing Rock, Linville, and historic Valle Crucis. Three of the south's top ski resorts are only minutes away.
During Hurricane Helene, the house did not flood, but water did get in the crawlspace and then receded.
