Tucked inside the gated Laurel Ridge community just outside Black Mountain, this isn’t just a mountain home—it’s a property that already works. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this home offers something most properties in this price range don’t: proven income potential without sacrificing personal use. Designed with both hosting and ownership in mind, the layout creates natural separation that today’s buyers—and guests—are actively looking for. The main living area delivers the mountain experience people come here for: a warm fireplace, open gathering space, and easy access to expansive decking, a hot tub, and long-range views. But what truly sets this property apart is the independent apartment. It allows you to: – Host guests while maintaining your own private space – Accommodate extended family without overlap – Or create multiple income streams from one property. Downstairs, the theater and game room aren’t just amenities—they’re the reason guests stay longer, leave better reviews, and come back. And that’s the difference here. This isn’t just a home you own…it’s a property that performs. Whether you’re looking for a private mountain escape, a hybrid personal-use investment, or a fully income-producing short-term rental, this property gives you the flexibility to choose. Because the reality is—homes like this don’t come available often in this location…And when they do, the buyers who understand the value tend to move quickly.
