The main floor bath offers a peaceful retreat with a soaking tub, supplied by a propane on-demand water heater, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A durable propane cast iron furnace keeps things comfortable and efficient through the winter months, while double French doors open onto the front deck, inviting in natural light and creating an easy flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation.

Nestled along a gentle, flowing creek with its own private waterfall that sings a soft, constant lullaby, this extraordinary property offers a rare sense of instant belonging and profound tranquility. The home has been lovingly and completely transformed from top to bottom, allowing the next fortunate owner to simply unpack, exhale, and settle into peace of mind without a single project lingering on the horizon. Spanning more than five expansive acres—most of which are beautifully level and ready for your dreams—the land unfolds with generous usability and freedom. Being unrestricted, it welcomes a motorhome, RV, workshop, or whatever vision you hold for your private sanctuary. Inside, the three-bedroom, two-bath residence feels refreshingly modern and light-filled, wrapped in fresh sheetrock and a soothing, updated neutral color palette that invites calm. The bathrooms glow with clean tile work, while the kitchen boasts elegant granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and sleek, energy-efficient appliances that make everyday living effortless and delightful.

Imagine beginning your mornings with a warm cup of coffee as the mountain breeze carries the soothing melody of the creek and waterfall just steps away, creating a meditative backdrop for reflection, reading, or simply being present. Though it feels wonderfully secluded and immersed in nature’s embrace, convenience is never far—less than a minute to Highway 74, five minutes to the majestic Blue Ridge Parkway, fifteen minutes to the charming towns of Sylva or Waynesville, and only forty minutes to vibrant Asheville. This is more than a house on land with water features; it is a true sanctuary where the rhythm of the creek aligns with the quiet rhythms of a life well-lived, offering both escape and effortless connection to the best of Western North Carolina’s mountains.
