Welcome to 240 Fortner Avenue, a true Bryson City mountain retreat offering classic log-home character, long-range mountain views, generous living space, and a proven history as a successful short-term rental. Set on approximately 1.18 acres, this 2007-built home offers 2,376 square feet of finished living space, including approximately 1,752 square feet on the main level and 624 square feet upstairs. The layout is spacious, warm, and inviting, with beautiful wood finishes, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a large gas fireplace that creates the perfect gathering place after a day exploring the mountains Sold fully furnished and turnkey, this beautifully decorated home offers an effortless opportunity for a personal retreat or ready-to-go vacation rental. The home features three bedrooms, two baths, and a flexible upper-level sleeping loft that works beautifully for additional guests, a reading nook, game area, or office. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, personal mountain getaway, or income-producing vacation property, the floor plan offers room to spread out while still feeling cozy and connected. Outdoor living is one of the highlights of 240 Fortner. Covered porches and deck space invite you to slow down and enjoy the mountain setting in every season. Sip coffee in the cool morning air, relax with friends in the afternoon, or unwind in the hot tub beneath the stars after a day of hiking, rafting, fishing, or exploring nearby Bryson City. One of the most exciting features of this property is the massive unfinished lower level. At approximately 1,752 square feet with soaring ceilings reaching roughly 15 feet, this is not your typical basement. The space is just waiting for its potential to be unlocked. Imagine a game room, home theater, fitness area, workshop, owner storage, recreation space, or future finished living area. With nearly as much unfinished square footage below as finished space on the main level, the possibilities are substantial. The home has also operated as a successful short-term rental, giving buyers the benefit of an established vacation-rental history in one of Western North Carolina's most popular mountain destinations. The log-cabin atmosphere, hot tub, generous sleeping space, porches, mountain views, and proximity to downtown Bryson City are all features vacation guests consistently seek. The location adds even more appeal. Downtown Bryson City, local restaurants, breweries, shops, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad are just minutes away, while Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fontana Lake, Cherokee, area rivers, hiking, fishing, and paddling are all within easy reach. With 2,376 square feet of finished living space plus approximately 1,752 square feet of unfinished lower-level potential, 240 Fortner offers more than a mountain cabin—it offers room to grow, income-producing potential, and the opportunity to create something truly special. Come for the mountain views and log-home charm. Stay for the space, location, rental history, outdoor living, and all the possibilities still waiting to be unlocked.
