About This Home

If you've been looking for your slice of heaven here in Western North Carolina, consider 491 Mckenzie Way South in Old Fort. Gateway Mountain provides its residents with 2700 acres of nature including trails, waterfalls and Lake George for boating, fishing and swimming. Boasting an expansive deck with a gas grill hook up, a screened porch with a hot tub and tv, and a vaulted great room with a fireplace and bar seating at the kitchen, this home lends itself to entertaining and relaxing. Want to listen to the birds while you rest? The sliding doors and plentiful windows let the sights and sounds in. And with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a nearly 400 square foot two car garage, this home is a great permanent residence or an appealing long or short term rental. Looking to build and put your own tastes in place? An adjacent 1.6 acre second lot with a small creek and an existing well is part of the offering.
