262 Blackberry Ln, Bakersville, NC, 28705

Start your visit on the screened front porch where the cool mountain air and bird song set the tone for this 1920 farmhouse at 262 Blackberry Lane. The home’s generous footprint—2,170 finished square feet—offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across thoughtfully updated spaces that honor the house’s age while addressing practical modern needs.

The kitchen has been refreshed with new cabinets, new countertops and a refrigerator already in place, creating an immediately usable hub for daily life. Laundry conveniences include a full upstairs bathroom with washer and dryer plus a dedicated laundry room off the kitchen on the main level. Recent window replacements improve energy performance and frame views of the surprising flat yard—a rare, usable expanse in this mountain setting.

Work is underway to stabilize and level the structure: metal support beams have been installed in the crawlspace as part of ongoing foundation work, and they will be adjusted over time to improve floor alignment. The roof has been updated for the long term with a metal roof, lifetime screws and new flashing; new guttering complements these improvements and the hot water heater was replaced in 2024. Those updates reduce near-term maintenance while leaving space for cosmetic personalization throughout the home.

Outdoor living is a standout: two outbuildings provide storage or workshop options, grape vines are newly planted and expected to produce fruit, and there’s room for a sizable garden. The yard’s flat profile makes it easy to plan raised beds, play area, or a small orchard—an advantage not common in the surrounding hills. A two-car garage and abundant interior storage round out the practical features.

Location is quietly convenient—easy access into Bakersville with short drives to Spruce Pine and Johnson City for expanded shopping, services and employment. For outdoors lovers, Roan Mountain is a repeat-destination with seasonal blooms and hiking close enough for day trips. This home is being presented for sellers who have completed key systems work; move-in-ready for homeowners who want a blend of vintage character and sensible modern updates. Schedule a showing to see how this property balances mountain lifestyle, usable land and meaningful upgrades.
