A rare blend of luxury, wellness, and outdoor adventure, this modern Blue Ridge mountain retreat was thoughtfully designed for buyers with an eye for the exceptional. Custom-built on 1.33 usable private acres with NO HOA, this thoughtfully designed cabin features Italian lacquer-finished cabinetry, hand-rubbed wide-plank wood flooring, upgraded Pella windows, and a luxury drive-through RV pavilion, all surrounded by peaceful wooded privacy and designed for elevated mountain living with flexibility, comfort, and off-grid potential. The property is enhanced by a natural spring feeding a small creek, mature black walnut trees, and a thriving herb garden with rosemary, Thai basil, lemon balm, peppermint, spearmint, and more, creating a true private sanctuary. Outdoor living shines with wraparound porches, covered walkways, forest views, peaceful sitting areas, a firepit area, and a Jacuzzi-brand hot tub just outside the owner’s suite. Designed with wellness and clean living in mind, the home has been intentionally maintained with yearly air duct cleaning, encapsulated crawlspace protection, mold-preventative treatments, and low-toxin, fragrance-free household maintenance, creating a fresh indoor environment rarely found in mountain properties. Vaulted ceilings extend from the main living area into the bedrooms, helping the layout live far larger than expected. The open-concept design creates an inviting flow for everyday living or entertaining, while the kitchen offers bar seating and a stylish dry bar. A standout feature is the luxury drive-through RV pavilion with a 12-foot ceiling, recessed lighting, and 50/30 amp hookups, plus an adjacent storage shed for tools, lake gear, or workshop needs. The usable acreage also offers room for a tiny home, guest cottage, or expanded outdoor living. Minutes from Nottley Lake and within 30 minutes of Blue Ridge, Murphy, and Chatuge Lake, this retreat offers the perfect balance of mountain privacy and outdoor adventure.
Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.

When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
Yes. Non-veterans can assume a VA loan, provided they meet the lender’s VA criteria. When a qualified buyer assumes a VA mortgage from a veteran or active-duty service member, the seller’s VA loan entitlement remains tied to the assumed loan until the buyer pays off or refinances the loan. This process restores the veteran seller’s entitlement, enabling them to use their VA benefit for a future home purchase.
Yes. All FHA loans are assumable by law as long as the buyer meets the FHA’s credit, income, and qualification requirements and obtain lender approval before assuming the loan (per FHA regulations effected December 15, 1989). Roam makes this process simple for buyers.
Generally, conventional loans are not assumable. In rare cases, a conventional loan may be assumable with lender approval. Use our search tool to find homes with assumable low-rate loans, or reach out to us if you’d like to confirm a specific home’s assumability.
