Trading Houses: A Creative Option in Trying Times
Herren House
I was approached by a couple that I have been working with who are looking to move to Big Canoe, but they need to sell their business, which is also their home! They asked me if I knew anyone that was interested in trading homes in Big Canoe for their Bed and Breakfast in Waynesville, North Carolina, 30 minutes west of Ashville in the Great Smokey Mountain Region. Normally home trades are tricky, but this market calls for creativity, and I believe that buyers and sellers both are becoming more flexible when it comes to relocating. Why not consider a trade?
It sounds so simple in theory; you buy my house and I’ll buy yours. And that’s exactly how it works! However, the tough part is finding two parties that both love each other’s homes! I took on this challenge because the owners have something more than just a house, it is a historical B&B, andit’s a profitable business in a desirable area not far from Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The B&B was built in 1897 and has a colorful history. Centrally located in Waynesville guests have the option of meandering through town, heading to the mountains for some skiing or a hike, or simply sitting in the garden sipping tea and relaxing. The historical 1897 Herren House is now offered 975k, recently reduced from 1.1M. The home includes 6 rooms and a restaurant. Also there are private owners’ quarters with a bedroom, bath, living room and private balcony.
They are interested in simply selling the B&B and will strongly consider a trade for a Big Canoe home. With so many recent career changes this may be the perfect time to live your dream of owning a B&B. Please contact me for more information regarding this unique opportunity! In the mean time enjoy the pictures!
