Ranch Home with Mountain Views and 3-Car Basement Garage
From the moment you turn onto Burge Mountain Road, this one-level ranch announces itself with a broad sloped lot and long-range mountain views that unfold behind a mature tree line. The brick-and-hardboard exterior sits on a generous 0.65-acre parcel; practical updates—most notably a recently replaced roof and a freshly pumped septic system—underscore care and readiness for the seasons ahead.
Step inside to a practical, split-bedroom layout that works for families and weekend guests. The living room centers on a gas-log fireplace and opens toward a casual dining area and breakfast bar—an efficient arrangement for daily life. The kitchen and baths present a solid mid-century footprint and offer straightforward potential for cosmetic modernization; finishes are serviceable and the floorplan invites reconfiguration or selective upgrades. A finished basement expands usable square footage significantly and connects to the unique three-car basement garage—ideal for hobbyists, storage, or a workshop.
Mechanical systems deliver mixed advantages: the home uses a heat pump for primary temperature control supplemented by window units, and propane service is in place. Water is supplied by a shared well and the property uses a septic system; buyers should review service records and shared-well arrangements. The sloped topography creates those desirable view corridors but will require attention for landscaping and any exterior regrading plans.
Location is a quiet, residential slice of Burge Mountain with quick access to Hendersonville civic life—downtown is about five miles away—while the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest are within easy driving distance for hikers, bikers, and weekend explorers. Schools in the Henderson County district rate at or slightly above average, adding to the neighborhood's family-friendly appeal. With a list price aligned near recent local comparables and sensible recent maintenance already completed, this property presents a balanced opportunity for buyers seeking mountain views, usable garage/basement space, and upside through targeted cosmetic investment.

Location
530 Burge Mountain Road, Hendersonville, NC 28792
Burge Mountain is a low-density residential neighborhood defined by rolling lots, mature trees, and long-range mountain views. Families and outdoor enthusiasts value quick access to downtown Hendersonville’s restaurants and shops (about a 10–15 minute drive) and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway for hiking and scenic drives. Local schools within the Henderson County district provide solid, community-oriented options, while weekend escapes to Pisgah National Forest are easily planned. The area is peaceful and largely car-dependent, offering privacy and a country-adjacent lifestyle while remaining connected to regional amenities.
Very good outdoor access with the Blue Ridge Parkway roughly 10 miles away, Pisgah National Forest about 15 miles for trail systems and waterfalls, plus neighborhood roads and parks for walking, biking, and everyday recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 530 Burge Mountain Road.
Hendersonville's single-family market currently favors sellers modestly: inventory sits near three months, average days on market are roughly 45, and the area's median sale price hovers around $300,000. Comparable sales on Burge Mountain show recent closings in the $290k–$315k range and a price-per-square-foot band around $150–$162—figures consistent with the subject's $151.75/ft2 listing. Low-to-moderate inventory and steady one-year appreciation (about +5%) mean well-priced, maintained ranch homes move with reasonable certainty. For buyers, this is a window to secure a home with buildable equity: recent maintenance (roof and septic) reduces near-term capital needs, while cosmetic updates can align resale value with higher-range comps. For investors, rental demand in the immediate area supports gross rents near $1,800/month, yielding a modest gross return; owner-occupants will appreciate the combination of space, garage capacity, and proximity to outdoor amenities. Verify shared-well arrangements and HVAC efficiency when evaluating offers—those items can materially affect negotiations in this market.
