About this home
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....
