This former mountain farm is the perfect place to build a vacation home or a secluded year-round home. The 1920s era farmhouse has not been lived in many years and is likely a teardown. A small stream runs alongside of Will Wilson Road which divides the property. The approximately 15 +/- acres lay surprisingly well and are mostly usable. The approximately 2-acre tract located across the road from the house has a former home site with a source of water located nearby. The property also has saleable timber that could be harvested if desired. This listing offers numerous potential home sites throughout the property. The barn located on the west side of the property needs some roof repairs but is otherwise in good condition and has had electricity run to it. Several acres of pasture surround the barn and could easily be bush hogged to bring back into full use. The beautiful mountain town of Burnsville is 17 miles away. Burnsville features multiple restaurants, grills and even a popular brewery. If you love the outdoors, this property is the place for you. The pristine waters of Cane River are a short 5-minute drive away. Hunting, fishing, hiking and camping are in abundant supply without even leaving the county. If your dream is a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle, you need to see this property.

Tucked away in the heart of Yancey's sought-after South Toe community, this charming small mountain getaway offers the opportunity to create your own peaceful retreat. Situated on 2.05± acres, the property features a creek flowing behind the home, with the acreage extending across the creek into a wooded setting that invites exploration, relaxation, and the sounds of nature. Conveniently located on state-maintained Lower Browns Creek Road, you'll enjoy easy year-round access with just a short drive to Town of Burnsville. Originally built in 1967, this property offers approximately 400 square feet and is ready for its next chapter. A new roof installed in late 2025 provides an excellent start for the next owner, while recent improvements by the current owner include drywall work & fresh paint in portions of home. The home features a covered front porch, living room, kitchen with electric range and refrigerator, one bedroom, a bonus room, and a bathroom that needs to be renovated and awaits completion. An additional room located just off the kitchen serves as the laundry and storage area. (Please use caution when accessing this room during showings, as it is currently being used for storage and has not been renovated.) This property is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and customize a mountain retreat, investment property, or vacation getaway. The home will require repairs and updates, including the installation of a permanent heating system. According to the owner, the original propane furnace is no longer in use, the propane tank has been removed, and the existing ductwork requires repair. Owner currently uses a space heater when he visits in the winter. Because there is currently no functioning permanent heat source, the property is not being marketed as having heated square footage. A window air conditioning unit in the living room provides seasonal cooling. Water is supplied by a spring located on the neighboring property, with deeded water rights that will are provided in the MLS documents for buyer review. According to the owner, the septic system is located behind the home. Septic records have been requested from the Yancey County Health Department but have not yet been received. Buyers are strongly encouraged to conduct a septic inspection, along with any other inspections they deem appropriate, to fully evaluate the property. The property is located within a mapped flood plain. According to the owner, Hurricane Helene altered the geography of the creek behind the home; however, to the best of the owner's knowledge, floodwaters did not enter the residence. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding flood zone designation, flood insurance requirements, and any future improvements they may wish to make. Due to the property's current condition, including the absence of a permanent heating system, cash or renovation financing may be the most appropriate financing options. If you've been searching for an affordable mountain property with a beautiful creek, usable acreage, and the opportunity to bring your own vision to life, 172 Lower Browns Creek Road is ready for its next owner. Property is being sold AS-IS. Buyers are encouraged to perform all inspections and due diligence prior to closing, no septic records on file with Yancey County Health Department.

Some mountain properties have views, others offer water, usable land, or an easy drive to town. This one has all four and that combination is what makes it genuinely rare in Western North Carolina. Approximately 20+/- acres of open, rolling pasture unfold beneath mountain views in every direction. A creek-fed pond of roughly 1.5 acres sits near the center, while more than 2,000 feet of Bolens Creek forms the south boundary with full water access. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered porch as mist rises from the pond, and evenings filled with the sound of the creek, wildlife in the fields, and summer fireflies. Despite the peaceful setting, downtown Burnsville is only four minutes away, the grocery store is two minutes away, and Asheville is approximately forty minutes away. At the center of the property is a custom timber frame home completed in 2024. Deep red cedar siding, a cupola, and a long covered front porch create a memorable exterior. Inside, cathedral tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed timber posts and beams, oversized windows, and iron ring chandeliers create a bright, warm living space. The navy kitchen features a farmhouse apron sink, six-burner gas range, cedar sliding barn door, and walk-in pantry. Designed with both comfort and quality in mind, the home includes no-VOC ECOS stains and finishes, Greenguard Gold-certified flooring, spray foam insulation, whole-home water filtration, a whole-home generator, tankless water heater, underground 1,000-gallon propane tank, and Charter high-speed fiber. The home offers three bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. The primary suite includes a premium stone soaking tub and walk-in closet. The lower level includes an oversized bedroom with tall ceilings and a large walk-in closet, a second bedroom, and a spacious flex room ideal for homeschooling, an office, studio, or playroom. The rear covered porch overlooks the pond and pastures and includes two infrared heaters for year-round enjoyment. For equestrian or homestead use, the property is truly turnkey. Connected to the home is a fully finished, insulated barn with six European-style stalls, Nelson automatic waterers, heated wash bay, generous tack room, Dutch doors to pasture, and a picture window overlooking the stall aisle from the living area. The land is fenced and cross-fenced with in-ground pasture waterers, run-in shelters, and frost-free hydrants. An established orchard includes 27 fruit trees, including apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots. The organically managed homestead also includes an enclosed raised-bed garden, two chicken coops with solar automatic doors, garden shed, children’s playscape, and covered sandbox. A substantial pole barn provides a concrete-floored main building, enclosed lean-tos, three overhead doors including a 16-foot RV-height door, conditioned flex rooms, workshop, spacious loft, and 220V service. In a scenic spot above the pond, a separate 16-by-24 schoolhouse is heated, cooled, and filled with windows, offering flexible space for a homeschool room, office, studio, or guest retreat. This is a rare property that ends the compromise. The views without isolation. The land without the impracticality. The privacy without the long drive to town. Whether your vision is horses, homesteading, room to breathe, or simply waking up to the Blue Ridge every morning, it was built with intention and obvious love, and it shows even better in person than in photographs.
