Duck Pond Mountain Retreat

2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on a beautiful stream with a large pond.

Come unwind in the mountains while fishing in the pond for catfish, blue gill, bass & perch, relaxing in the hammock next to the stream, sitting on the front porch or hiking on the 9 acres. Privacy and serenity is what you will find on your getaway in this comfortable home set 1/4 mile off the main road. The house is 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Little Switzerland, 20 minutes from downtown Spruce Pine or Marion, 45 minutes from Black Mountain and an hour out of Asheville.

Master bedroom has a queen log bed and it's own full spacious bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 3 with a twin log bunk bed and a twin single log bed. If more sleeping space is needed the living room has a futon and a sleeper sofa that each sleep 2. There is a mud room with a washing machine and dryer. Kitchen has everything you should need except food. The dining room can seat up to 8. There is also a small table on the porch and a picnic table outside by the stream with a charcoal grill. Build a fire in the fire pit, make s'mores and listen to the music of the secadas. Play ladder toss or toss a football in the back yard or just sit and relax and take in the nature all around you.

Property is located off of 226A which is the Diamondback Motorcycle and Sportscar Route. The Diamondback, NC's 226A is loaded with switchbacks looping almost 360-degrees. Runs of S-curves climb and twist sharply as they snake through lush green forest in route to the Blue Ridge Parkway just above Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Sweeping curves, amazing scenery and cool mountain breezes make the Diamondback, NC 226A, one of western NC's last great mountain roadways. Take a drive along the Diamondback for a fun drive and beautiful views.
