A classic Ridgecrest cottage with an additional 0.11 acre lot for privacy. When Ridgecrest was just a conference and retreat center, families would build summer homes for themselves and others to have a cool, quiet, private, mountain getaway within walking distance to all the activities. A number of those classic homes still remain. This house and property have a ton of potential, and the interior could easily be converted into an open floor plan. The additional lot next door (8 Bowers) gives you even more options – a second dwelling structure perhaps, or just privacy from the neighbors. Can be used as a short-term rental, so AirBNB / VRBO are options. 5 minutes to downtown Black Mountain and 20 minutes to Asheville.
