Under contract. Seller is accepting backup offers. Now offered at a newly reduced price, this home presents an especially compelling opportunity in Canton, NC—one of Appalachia’s most promising mountain markets.

This historic mill town on the Pigeon River is reimagining itself and was recently touted as one of “The 8 Best Mountain Destinations to Buy a Home Before Prices Soar, According to Real Estate Experts” by Travel + Leisure. Built in 2019, this 4BR/2.5BA home puts you just a short walk from downtown Canton’s restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and riverside parks. With Asheville only about 20 minutes away and easy access to outdoor amenities, it’s a great setup for full-time living, a second home, or an income-generating rental investment.

Inside, you’ll find bright, open living spaces with mountain views, including a beautiful view toward Cold Mountain from the kitchen window. The kitchen features a JennAir stove, granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and flows easily into the living and dining areas, creating a comfortable space to cook, gather, and entertain.

Out back, enjoy a deck with mountain views overlooking the Pisgah National Forest and the Pigeon River—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evenings.

Three bedrooms, including a spacious en-suite primary, fill out the upper level. The finished lower level adds flexibility with a second living area, bedroom, laundry, and storage—ideal for guests, a home office, or extra space, with room to customize further if desired.

The fenced yard and dog door make everyday living easy for pet owners. Most furnishings are negotiable, and with nearly new systems and low-maintenance living, this is an easy home to enjoy year-round or part-time, with excellent rental potential. A rental analysis from a local short-term rental management company is available in the MLS attachments; contact the listing agent(s) for access to the rental estimate.

You and your guests will be close to hiking in Pisgah National Forest, camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, water activities on the Pigeon River, scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway, skiing at Cataloochee, and dining, horseback riding, and outdoor experiences at Cataloochee Ranch and The Swag.

Canton is growing while keeping its small-town feel, making this a smart time to buy in the area and get in early on the town’s riverside revival. If you’ve been looking for something in the mountains that is move-in ready with long-range views, in-town walkability, and income-generating potential, this one checks all those boxes.
