Property Description
An historic rare mixed-use investment opportunity in the Shell Creek community of Roan Mountain, this iconic 1.55-acre property is zoned for both residential and commercial use. The property offers outstanding potential for investors, entrepreneurs, and destination-based businesses on a busy two-lane highway. It features 113 feet of road frontage on U.S. Highway 19E, and 608 feet on Shell Creek Road. Prominently located at the front corner of the property is a well-preserved two-story historic general store, originally known as the Church & Woodruff General Store. Once a thriving business and community post office, the building, built in 1882, retains unique historic details, including its original overnight mail slot. It was commercially operational as recently as a decade ago, making it well suited for retail, café, gallery, office, or studio use. The first floor features a large retail area while the second floor is divided into multiple rooms. The property also includes an 1882 Folk Victorian residence with four bedrooms that provides additional flexibility for commercial operations, such as a bed-and-breakfast, short-term rental, offices, or owner-occupied business use. Additional improvements include a large barn suitable for events, weddings, parties, workshops, or agritourism, along with a detached garage, utility shed with root cellar, fountain, and level open grounds with room for parking or expansion. The property's historic ties to the former Tweetsie Railroad add to its appeal as a heritage-based destination. The former Shell Creek Depot was in front of the property. Recent updates to the property include a newer heat pump and water heater. The property is just minutes away from Roan Mountain State Park, Carvers Gap, the Appalachian Trail, and skiing destinations in North Carolina. All information taken from sellers/tax information.
