About This Home

As of November 2021

This charming 3 BR/2BA repurposed Barn is bordered by a rushing stream flowing to Edwards Creek. It's 3.58 acre parcel was carved from the Family Estate of Edward & Greta Edwards in Horse Cove, nestled between Whiteside and Fodderstack Mountains. This home boasts an outdoor deck with grill, a firepit, "in law suite", a bonus room, a 1000 ft deep well,a partial house generator, extra storage and more. The Edwards family moved to Horse Cove in 1916 to build commercial establishments for the growing influx of residents seeking North Carolina mountain living. Halfway between Highlands and Cashiers, this location was ideal for their horses, livestock and business interests- as had been the case for prior settlers. Today, lovely Horse Cove Community reflects the ambience and style of it's early residents. Notable world class Hiking and Fishing are only "a stones throw" away. In the heart of the neighborhood, this particular tract of land has all of the bells and whistles. From a stream near the Barn to the it's verdant soil terraced from the Hillcrest, adjoining the US Forrest Service - limitless possibilities await your own interpretation. Whether to enjoy privacy, build on several buildable lots or a combination thereof, this wonderful world is your stage.
