Seeking a licensed assisted living facility in Western North Carolina with an established operating history, 12 resident capacity, and expansion potential? Ridge Rest Assisted Living offers a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing care residence on 8.6 acres in Columbus, NC, that has served the community for more than four decades and offers multiple future-use possibilities.  Ridge Rest Assisted Living presents a unique investment and operational opportunity in the desirable Polk County Foothills of Western North Carolina. Originally constructed in 1960 as a seven-bedroom residence and expanded in 2006, the property now features 12 bedrooms, including five suites with ensuite baths, as well as spacious common living, dining, and support areas designed for residential care operations. Operating continuously since 1979 (per operator history), Ridge Rest has established a long-standing presence within the local healthcare community and is currently licensed by the State of North Carolina as a 12-bed assisted living/adult care home. The facility's residential scale and home-like environment have supported personalized care services for decades. Situated on approximately 8.6 acres with year-round mountain views, mature trees, and peaceful surroundings, the property offers an attractive setting for residents, guests, and caregivers alike. The 8.6 acres include the adjoining 3.7-acre lot. Improvements include approximately 7,220 square feet above grade, additional basement space, central HVAC systems, generator backup, wired internet availability, ample parking, covered porch areas, well water, and septic service. Conveniently located near downtown Columbus, Interstate 26, regional healthcare providers, and essential services, the property benefits from accessibility while maintaining a private foothills setting. Potential opportunities may include continued assisted living operations, senior housing, adult care services, group home operations, residential treatment programs, transitional housing, wellness retreats, faith-based residential programs, or other approved uses. Buyers should independently verify zoning, licensing requirements, occupancy regulations, and suitability for intended use. Properties with an established operating history, specialized residential infrastructure, and significant acreage are rarely available in Western North Carolina. Ridge Rest offers a compelling opportunity for operators, investors, and mission-driven organizations seeking a facility with proven functionality and long-term community presence.
