Set on 2.6 wooded acres with stunning long-range mountain and valley views, 74 Lanzi Ledge feels wonderfully tucked away while still offering the connectivity needed for full-time living. The 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is full of original character, from warm wood-paneled walls and vintage kitchen details to the substantial stone fireplace with raised hearth anchoring the main living space. A wall of windows frames the surrounding landscape, while doors open directly to an expansive covered deck—the kind of place made for morning coffee, summer storms rolling across the mountains, and evenings watching the light change over the valley. Outside, the property continues to deliver. A spring-fed creek runs through the acreage, alongside a 2-story barn, outdoor shower, and mature woods. Trails meander through the property and lead to a potential second flat building area or space for a garden. The home is served by a private well, with electric and fiber internet through French Broad Electric Membership Corporation, plus a seller-installed roof-mounted solar array. A partially shared driveway leads to the tucked-away homesite. Whether you preserve its retro mountain character, make it your own over time, or simply enjoy it exactly as it is, this property offers flexibility as a full-time residence, WNC getaway, or potential short-term rental. Properties with acreage, long-range views, privacy, and this much personality rarely come to market in Sandy Mush. Seller financing may be available.
