Property Description
A rare and exciting opportunity to own a landmark property in the heart of downtown Mountain City. Downtown offerings are extremely limited, making this historic building a standout investment. Known to generations as Cornett Furniture Store for the past 32 years and previously Smithy's Department Store, this iconic brick front and block structure is woven into the fabric of the community. The property offers 5,376+/- sq ft of open, flexible space with original hardwood flooring and approximately 129 feet of prime Main Street frontage. Multiple storefront entrances enhance visibility and accessibility, while the building fronts two streets and includes green space at the rear. The lot measures approximately 129 x 160, providing additional versatility for future use. Zoned B1 local business district, the property presents unlimited potential for retail, boutique, restaurant, gallery, office, or mixed-use concepts. Ideally located near Watauga Lake, Doe Mountain Recreation Authority, and just minutes from the Virginia and North Carolina state lines, the area benefits from steady local traffic and year-round tourism. Priced to sell and offered as is, this is a rare chance to acquire a signature downtown property with history, presence, and long-term potential. Buyer/buyer's agent to verify all information.
