INVESTOR ALERT! MOTIVATED SELLER! Restore a Piece of Appalachian History in the Heart of Jacks Creek

Step back in time and imagine the possibilities with this historic 1899 farmhouse, a rare gem tucked away in the scenic Jacks Creek community of Yancey County. Originally built as a schoolhouse, this one-of-a-kind property offers the chance to preserve and reimagine a piece of Western North Carolina history—whether as a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or income-producing rental.

Set against a backdrop of rolling farmland, open pastures, and panoramic mountain views, the setting is pure Appalachian charm. Enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining just 12 minutes from Downtown Burnsville, where you’ll find dining, shops, breweries, arts, and all the conveniences of small-town life.

A Historic Home With Endless Potential

With approximately 1,710 square feet, this 3-bedroom residence features:

  • High ceilings that bring in wonderful natural light

  • Large, well-proportioned rooms—ideal for creative redesign

  • Original farmhouse character ready to be enhanced and preserved

  • A functional layout offering multiple possibilities for renovation

Behind the home, on the northwestern side, you’ll find an additional storage shed, perfect for tools, gardening equipment, or workshop space.

A Renovator’s Dream

This home will need significant renovation, making it an ideal project for:

  • Investors

  • Flippers

  • Restoration enthusiasts

  • Buyers seeking a truly unique mountain property

The home previously used monitor heaters and a woodstove, last in operation about six years ago when the property was used as a long-term rental. A private well and septic system are already in place, offering a solid starting point for restoration.

Because of the level of work required, this property is being sold AS-IS, and will NOT qualify for financing. Cash purchase only.

Why This Property Is a Rare Opportunity

Properties with this blend of history, charm, and setting are increasingly hard to find in the mountains. With the right vision, this early Appalachian farmhouse can be transformed into:

  • A story-rich primary residence

  • A mountain retreat with rustic appeal

  • A vacation rental or Airbnb full of character

  • A restored historical showcase honoring its schoolhouse origins

Surrounded by the beauty of Yancey County and just a short drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Mitchell, and Burnsville’s vibrant downtown, the location is as desirable as it is peaceful.

Don’t Miss Your Chance to Revitalize This Historic Treasure

This is more than a renovation project—it’s a chance to breathe new life into a property that has stood for more than a century. For the right buyer, this is a true diamond in the rough with unmatched potential.
