Welcome to Yellow Mountain, one of the best kept secrets, located within the Pisgah National Forest. It is a gated community with homes at 4500 to 4700 feet elevation. There are 24 homes on 560 acres. We live among nature, trees, hiking trails, ponds etc. And we co-exist with the wildlife, deer, wild turkey, a stray bear (once in a while) owls and coyotes. We inhabit their forest and are very conscious of that. The board of directors is very intentional about keeping this sub-division as natural as possible, by protecting the environment from invasive species etc. Through a cooperative agreement with the Southern Appalachian Conservacy, residents and guests of Yellow Mountain Ranch have access to the Big Yellow Mountain Bald, allowing access to the Appalachian Trail (30 to 40 minute hike to the base of Little Hump) We enjoy seasonal pot lucks at the "Barn Site" including Memorial day celebration, 4th of July, Labor Day and if anyone is up here New Years, indoor of course. Please read the history of Yellow Mountain Ranch attached. This home is nestled on 3.14 acres (more available) and AWD or 4WD is necessary to access the property. The house has a great floor plan with a spacious kitchen, spectacular mountain views a 1st floor primary bedroom with attached sitting room. Upstairs has one huge bedroom that could accommodate 4 house guests with direct access to the bonus room, a loft that a previous owner used as hi2020s art studio, another bedroom and full bath. There is lots of storage. The house needs work, I have an estimate from the contractor and am expecting an estimate from the plumber shortly. For the right person this would be a magnificent home. The first floor is 2020 square feet. The second floor contains 1265 square feet that has been heated by space heaters. There is a large bonus room. Two additional lots are negotiable
