This historic 1.55-acre mixed-use property is located in the Shell Creek community of Roan Mountain and is zoned for both residential and commercial use. The property offers potential for investors, entrepreneurs, and destination-based businesses. It features 113 feet of road frontage on U.S. Highway 19E and 608 feet on Shell Creek Road. A two-story historic general store, originally known as the Church & Woodruff General Store, is located at the front corner of the property. Built in 1882, the building retains historic details, including its original overnight mail slot. It was commercially operational as recently as a decade ago, making it suited for retail, cafe, 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, providing 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, and fountain. The property also features level open grounds with room for parking or expansion. Recent updates 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. 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.
