Welcome to your mountain retreat in the desirable Whisper Lake community, nestled in the heart of Western North Carolina’s beautiful mountains. Set on a private, wooded lot, this inviting 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends mountain charm with comfortable, year-round living.

The two-car garage includes an additional 10-foot area—perfect for golf cart storage, outdoor gear, or extra workspace.
Step outside and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting from the screened porch,
complete with an electric heater for cooler evenings, or gather around the outdoor
firepit while enjoying the soothing sound of the waterfall just outside of the backyard
fence. The house has been well maintained, including a brand-new roof, offering the
home's move-in-ready appeal.
