The Best Kept Real Estate Secret in Burke County
About a half hour from Morganton, North Carolina, and high in the mountains, just through the Pisgah Forest on the very northernmost tip of Burke County, is one of the most beautiful areas on earth. It is also one of Burke County's best kept real estate secrets. Primitive hiking trails through the Linville Gorge Wilderness area draw outdoor enthusiasts from all over. Folks never tire of the breathtaking vistas and the woods thick with rhododendron and mountain laurel.
There are a few homes for sale in the neighborhoods of Gingercake Acres and Upper Creek Acres, both of which border National Forest. In a single year, there are normally only a handful of home sales in this area.
The first is a recently remodeled 4 BR, 2.5 BA home in Gingercake. It has 2 gorgeous rock fireplaces, updated kitchen and baths, and warm pine throughout. A newly added dining room adds much needed dining space and charm. The most wonderful thing about this place is that the master suite is on the main level, along with the living room, kitchen, dining, and garage, but there are 3 more bedrooms and another living area and kitchen below, perfect for children or guests! For more information, see MLS # 15642
Also in Gingercake, this log-sided charmer has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, hardwood floors, tongue and groove walls and doors, a rock fireplace in the living room and another in the family room downstairs, and updated tile baths. The pine kitchen is open to the dining room and has rustic slate tile floors. The outdoor areas are beautifully landscaped. You need to see the virtual tour to appreciate the true mountain charm of this one!

If you have your heart set on a log home in the mountains, check out this 3 bedroom, 2 bath new construction in Upper Creek Acres. You will love the rustic feel and quality of this cabin located on just over an acre. The Great Room has vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, a rock gas fireplace, and hardwood floors. The kitchen has hickory cabinets and ceramic tile counters and floors. And then there is a wonderful front porch and a full-length back deck.
