Welcome to 77 Griffith Branch Road, a peaceful mountain retreat set on 15.5+/- acres of wooded, untimbered land with a soothing creek just across the gravel road. Located in the Bradshaw Township of Mitchell County, this 2BR/1.5BA contemporary-style home offers both privacy and potential-an excellent opportunity for someone ready to bring new life to a cherished family property. Built in 1993 and lovingly known for generations as “Nanny & Big Papa's house in the mountains,” the home features a two-story layout with an unfinished basement, ideal for future workshop space or garage parking. The basement includes a propane wall heater and interior stairs leading to the main level. The main floor offers a galley-style kitchen, cozy but spacious living area with gas log fireplace and window A/C unit, a half bath, laundry/mud room for convenience, and an additional flexible room with a bay window-perfect for a dining room, den, office, or hobby space. A kerosene monitor heater provides supplemental heat. Step out onto the covered front porch, which wraps around to the side and connects to a ramped entry and fenced back yard-a wonderful place to listen to the creek and enjoy the surrounding woods. Upstairs you'll find a large primary bedroom with bay window overlooking the property, a full bath, an additional bedroom, a bonus room, and a small storage/utility room. Pull-down attic stairs add even more storage options. Multiple heat sources are installed, including an oil furnace, kerosene monitor, propane gas logs, and propane wall heater in the basement. An older central vacuum system and an unused wood stove/furnace in the basement convey in as-is condition with no representation from seller. The land offers a mix of level area around the homesite and steep-to-sloping wooded acreage rising behind the property. An old slab foundation from a previous home still remains. Across the road, additional acreage includes an old barn beside the creek-an ideal spot for a picnic or quiet relaxation. A semi-circle driveway, attached drive-through carport, and basement garage bay add convenience. The property includes two wells (one currently in use; the second ris not in use), plus owned oil, propane, and kerosene tanks. A small shed also conveys. Everything in the home conveys unless otherwise arranged. The home was inherited and the current owner has not lived on the property. Located approximately 25 minutes to Burnsville, 22 minutes to Bakersville, and 35 minutes to Spruce Pine, with the North Toe River just minutes away, this property offers the tranquility of mountain living while still being close to town amenities. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or a peaceful vacation retreat, this unique property invites you to create your own mountain memories. No survey on record can be found, buyer is recommended to have survey done to confirm acreage - acreage listed is per Deed.
