About This Home

As of April 2025

Escape the heat! Perched at 4000 ft elevation in the heart of the Nantahala National Forest, this beautiful custom home sits on 10.39 private acres and borders USFS. Timber frame accents on the front porch reveal what awaits inside. Step into a charming & rustic open floor plan that has all the mountain cabin vibes. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and the stone fireplace will be the first to catch your eye. The cozy kitchen features maple cabinets, quartz countertops & tons of work space! There's even a quaint breakfast nook off the dining area, but you may prefer to spend your mornings or evenings on the expansive decks that surround the home. The hot tub will remain for your enjoyment! The primary suite and guest bedroom & bath round out the main floor along with the laundry room. Downstairs, the finished basement opens up to an expansive family/rec room. There are 2 additional rooms that could be used for sleeping space or office space & an additional full bath. Oh yes, and the cedar & cypress wine room - yes, you read that right! If you have more guests arrive, there's also a detached bunk house w/full bath & kitchenette. Great location between Franklin & Hayesville, NC!
