Thistle Dew! There’s more to this Linville Land Harbor property than first meets the eye. Offering two distinct living spaces surrounded by generous decking, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat provides plenty of room to spread out, gather, or find a comfortable space of your own. One side incorporates an enclosed and covered 1985 fifth wheel with a bedroom, kitchen, living area and full bath. New LVP and paint in October 2026. The adjoining closed-in breezeway, with an abundance of windows, creates a bright sunroom/den and additional living space, along with convenient storage and laundry. Across the deck, the 1981 two-story cabin brings an entirely different character, with substantial exposed rafters in a vaulted ceiling, a wood stove and the warm atmosphere of a mountain getaway. The lower level offers a separate bedroom and full bath, generous closet space and its own tucked-away deck, creating a comfortable retreat apart from the main gathering areas. The extensive decking is an important part of the property, providing both a connection between the different living spaces and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the mountain air, relax outdoors or entertain. With multiple indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy, the property lives larger and more flexibly than its square footage alone might suggest. Located in the established Linville Land Harbor community, this home offers a distinctive alternative to the typical mountain home—part cabin, part getaway and entirely its own. Convenient to Newland, Linville and the surrounding High Country, it’s an inviting home base for enjoying life in the North Carolina mountains.
