About This Home

Welcome to your own private mountain retreat on 35 stunning acres, featuring 1,500 feet of bold creek frontage with waterfalls, swimming holes, a spring-fed pond, and a second creek meandering through open pasture. This epic 4BD/3.5BA home offers 2544 sq ft with hardwoods, tile, a soaring great room with cathedral ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace. Enjoy peaceful evenings on the expansive wraparound porch, listening to the flowing cascading waterfalls under a star-filled sky. The property includes 7 acres of pasture, with a mature fruit & nut tree orchard, a gorgeous two-level barn, and multiple build sites—perfect for a farmstead, horse property, or multigenerational compound. One build site has separate access, and already has septic in place. A massive 3-car garage and workshop with mini-split system, and water installed. The upper level is ready to finish, adding the potential for separate living space. End-of-road privacy surrounding by forest, along with the epic waterfall and bold creek. It is a prime location, with an easy 15 min drive to Sylva, Waynesville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, while only 40 mins to downtown Asheville. Easy, scenic access to a truly one-of-a-kind Western NC property!
