About This Home

As of July 2025

495 Dancing Willow Way, tucked in the foothills on nearly 24 acres, this versatile property offers privacy, functionality, and income potential. The 3BR/2BA log
cabin features an open floor plan, walkout basement, and a series of recent updates inside and out including hardboard siding, windows, electrical, gutters, & new concrete driveway.
An expansive 17x40 detached garage provides space for an RV, storage or projects. Equestrian amenities include a 6-stall barn with walk-out stalls, riding arena & cross-fenced pasture that allows 6 separate turnouts, with an outbuilding that would serve well as a small barn or chicken coop.
The 1 bed/1 bath Green River Cabin—currently rented month-to-month—sits beside a designated RV site, offering additional options for guests or rental income.

Move-in ready and thoughtfully improved, this property is ideal for horse lovers, hobby farming, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat in the Carolina foothills. Showings by appointment only.
