About This Home

As of August 2024

Nestled in the emerald embrace of Cowee Valley, a haven of serenity awaits. This meticulously remodeled 2-bedroom cabin is a portal to a life among mountain vistas. Unwind on the porch or around the fire pit, where sunrises ignite the view of the peaks and twilight drapes the valley in a starlit tapestry. Gleaming hardwood floors, warm wood accents, and a crackling gas fireplace weave a spell of cozy enchantment. Dual-pane windows become portals to the verdant tapestry outside, and new central heat/air ensures year-round tranquility. But the magic extends beyond the walls. This 3.13+/-acre canvas begs for your artistic touch with the various building sites on the property. Existing logging roads transform into enchanting hiking trails. This haven can even become a source of income – share its magic with others through short-term rentals. This Cowee Valley gem awaits, with the charming town of Franklin just a 20-minute drive away, offering a taste of local culture and convenience. The adjoining 1.35+/- acre parcel is also available for purchase.
