Looking for great mountain views? Become part of the tranquility of Piney Gate, a beautiful mountain community in the hills of Western North Carolina. This adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage sits on 1.53 acres and offers great year-round mountain views. Conveniently located within the community, the home features an inviting open floor plan with an eat-in kitchen, has updated cabinets, and appliances that have seen very little use. A bright sunroom, as well as an screened porch, provide the perfect spaces to sit back and enjoy the expansive mountain views, a special feature that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Bedrooms are similar in size and are close to the bathroom. The toilet was replaced in September 2026. Bought transferrable termite bond and had vapor barrier installed in April 2026. Step outside to enjoy two decks and a terraced backyard that receives year-round sunshine, offering the possibility of a small garden. There’s also a natural wooded area that would make a wonderful spot for a bonfire or outdoor gathering. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, wild turkey, bear, fox, and other mountain wildlife occasionally passing through the property. The lay of the lot gives you the ability to manage the trees and maintain your mountain views over time. HOA dues include road maintenance, community water, and a trash collection area, providing both convenience and added value. The location of this property is hard to beat, with close proximity to the Big Bradley hiking area, The Gorge Zipline, and historic downtown Saluda, a quaint mountain town reminiscent of a simpler time. This area is beloved by outdoor enthusiasts and those who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, morning walks with a favorite four-legged companion, or simply taking in the beauty of nature. If you’re looking for a peaceful mountain retreat where you can unplug, slow down, enjoy the views, and make the most of your downtime, this charming Piney Gate cottage deserves a closer look.
Cozy mountain living with year round views. 2BR/1BA home with large sunroom with a grand mountain view. Kitchen has nice flow, living room features a wood stove, hardwood floors throughout. Additional storage in outbuilding. This is a FannieMae Homepath property.
