Community: Burnsville in Yancey County
Tucked into the gentle folds of near hills at the feet of the Black Mountains, this quiet retreat unfolds across nearly six acres of pastures, woods, and cleared garden land. A robust creek marks the property’s beginning, its voice a constant, soothing presence that reaches the home and lingers in the air. Tiny streams thread through the acreage, whispering through the grass and trees. At the heart of the land sits a lovely two-bedroom home, where a wood stove offers deep winter warmth and a mini split provides summer comfort. The kitchen is decently sized, well-suited for putting up the garden’s harvest or simmering a slow meal while the creek runs beyond the window. One section of the property is shaded by enormous old trees, standing like patient elders beside a very old but still sturdy barn, weathered, honest, and full of stories. The true soul of the home, however, is the screened back porch. From here, the view rolls out across the yard, over the stream, and off toward the semi hidden hills. It is the kind of place where morning coffee lasts an hour and evening fireflies keep you company. Just steps away, a separate one-bedroom, one-bath cabin offers its own magic: a large sliding door frames the same sweeping vista of stream, yard, and far hills, bringing the outside in. Whether as a guest retreat, an artist’s studio, or a quiet escape, it mirrors the main home’s best feature: an unbroken connection to this peaceful, water-song land.
