About This Home

As of July 2021

Ruby Knoll Could Be Your Hidden Gem! Tucked away in the heart of picturesque Cowee Valley, this rustic cabin is looking for love! If you're interested in a 3 BR 2 BA cabin with beamed ceilings and plenty of mountain charm, then let's make a match! Kitchen features warm pine flooring, unique open shelving and wood countertops. Great room stretches out into living and dining areas with a stone, wood burning fireplace that is the cabin's only heat source. Bedroom and bath on the main level. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms and a bath as well as plenty of storage nooks. Expansive deck and private feel. Storage area/workshop under deck. Located in a quiet neighborhood on a wooded lot with fairly level yard and firepit area. Good location for exploring all the area has to offer and there's gem mining nearby. Needs TLC and some personality outside, but could be 'feeling cute' if you've got what it takes to bring it up to snuff! If you've been searching for a getaway to make your own mountain memories, then this might be your buried treasure! CASH BUYERS ONLY!
