Property Description
New price. New opportunity at Laurel Lodge. Now offered at $640,000, this spacious High Country retreat presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking for a full-time mountain home, second home, or vacation rental in the sought-after Gingercake Acres community. With over 3,200 square feet of flexible living space, generous gathering areas, and room for family and guests, Laurel Lodge offers a tremendous amount of home at its new price. Designed for bringing people together, this is more than a beautiful mountain home—it's the kind of place where holidays become traditions, weekends stretch a little longer, and everyone has room to gather. Inside, warm natural textures, expansive windows, and an open-concept design connect the kitchen and living spaces, while the flexible layout provides plenty of room to spread out and unwind. Step outside and the experience continues. Covered porches invite slow mornings with coffee, evenings around the fire pit become part of the routine, and the fresh Blue Ridge air makes it easy to lose track of time. The property is also hot-tub ready, with electrical already in place from the home's previous hot tub. Nestled in North Carolina's High Country, Laurel Lodge offers the balance of a peaceful mountain setting with convenient access to Linville Gorge, Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Gingercake Acres also allows short-term rentals, adding flexibility for buyers who want to enjoy the home themselves while maintaining rental potential. With motivated sellers and a new offering price of $640,000, this is an opportunity worth another look. Whether your vision is a primary residence, a mountain getaway shared with generations of family and friends, or an investment property with proven rental history, Laurel Lodge is ready for its next chapter. Some homes are simply beautiful. Laurel Lodge is the place where your favorite memories begin.
