167 Goughes Branch Rd, Leicester, NC, 28748

The moment you crest the driveway at 167 Goughes Branch Road the wide mountain panorama frames the property — nearly two acres of mostly open, sunny land that invites gardening, outdoor projects, and quiet backyard living. This renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home (1,960 finished sq ft) was updated with practical, modern finishes: newer laminate floors throughout, drywall throughout, refreshed baths, and a bright, well-appointed kitchen featuring attractive cabinets, solid counters, a double sink and stainless appliances.

The home’s layout centers on a family room with a gas fireplace, creating a comfortable focal point for gatherings; the floor plan reads open and approachable, with covered decking at both front and back that extends living outdoors. Newer decking and two covered decks expand your entertaining options and provide multiple vantage points for those long-range views. Practical additions include a carport, a separate workshop on the parcel, and in-unit laundry for everyday convenience.

Unique to this offering is a small 2-bed, 1-bath single-wide also on the property. Both dwellings share a well and driveway; each currently has its own PIN but are on one deed. The lot is largely open and fairly level, giving you latitude to add gardens, outbuildings, or hobby spaces (buyer should research permitted uses). With a sunny aspect, solid updates, and nearly two acres, this property balances move-in readiness with room to customize and expand.

Located in Leicester, this home will appeal to buyers who want immediate comfort plus outdoor opportunity: renovated interiors, functional systems, and a workshop are already in place — so you can begin enjoying the acreage and views from day one. Listed at $439,000, it’s an uncommon combination of updated living space and usable land in a peaceful mountain-adjacent setting.

This Leicester address sits in a quieter, rural part of western North Carolina where properties tend to offer larger parcels and mountain vistas. Residents appreciate the combination of open acreage and privacy while remaining within reach of local services and small-town conveniences. The area favors outdoor lifestyles — gardens, small hobby farms, and workshops are common — and buyers often choose Leicester for its relaxed pace and access to regional natural amenities.
