Description

Step off the deck and onto a trail that ends at the lake in less than ten minutes. Bordered by U.S. National Forest and with a 0.3-mile trail to the lake, this 2022-built contemporary cottage in Blue Ridge's Aska Wilderness Area works equally well as a full-time residence, a second home, or a short-term rental with an established track record. Just five minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and just over a mile from the marina, the location threads the needle between seclusion and convenience — close enough for a coffee run or dinner in town, private enough that the forest feels like an extension of the property itself. The Aska corridor's mountain biking and hiking network starts at the property line, and the lake trail puts paddling and lake time a short walk away. Inside, a designer kitchen anchors an open, light-filled main living space, finished with custom bathroom work and modern furnishings that photograph well and hold up to real use. Three bedrooms sleep seven comfortably across ~1,600 finished square feet: a king suite, a queen guest bedroom, and a bunk room with a full-over-full bunk that doubles as an arcade and game room for kids or groups. Outside, a hot tub sits beneath a forest canopy that filters the light through the day, and land that backs directly to National Forest — no rear neighbors, ever. A detached single-car garage adds covered parking or workshop space, tucked into the trees alongside the drive. Public water and septic mean no well-testing or well-pump concerns that come with many mountain properties. The home is sold FULLY FURNISHED. For a buyer considering this as a primary or second home, it's a low-maintenance, nearly new mountain retreat with real forest access and Lake Blue Ridge nearby. For an investor, it's already doing the work: three years as an Airbnb Superhost, a 4.97 overall rating across 136 reviews (5.0 stars on the most recent 57), and a top-10%-in-market ranking. Rental projection details available upon request.
