About this home

A rare opportunity to own one of Chimney Rock’s recognizable and character-rich properties, just a half mile from downtown and offering remarkable versatility as a potential short-term rental investment, second home or full-time residence. Originally built as a motel, and according to local folklore, once owned by a noted Radio City Rockette, this iconic home blends legacy, architecture and location in a way that cannot be replicated. Set amid mature trees with dramatic, up-close views of Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Falls, the property delivers an immersive mountain experience that appeals equally to discerning travelers and everyday living. Accessible to downtown dining, shopping and attractions enhances convenience while significantly strengthening potential rental demand. Inside, the home showcases soaring ceilings, rich wood interiors, a lofted upper level and a striking stone fireplace, creating a warm yet elevated atmosphere. The thoughtfully curated lodge-style design offers visual impact and comfortable livability, ideal for hosting guests, weekend escapes or full-time enjoyment. Outdoor living is a defining feature, highlighted by a covered pavilion-style deck ideal for entertaining, relaxing or taking in surrounding natural beauty throughout the seasons. The charming exterior, featuring shake siding, flower boxes and timeless mountain architecture, adds to the property’s lasting appeal and sense of arrival. For investors, this is a differentiated short-term rental asset with a story, walkability, and landmark views that support strong occupancy and premium rates. For second-home buyers, it offers a distinctive retreat with minimal compromise.
