Rustic charm is the first thing that hits you when you pull up to 903 Plott Balsam Road in the private, gated community of Cranberry Falls. Set high in the mountains above Maggie Valley, this is real mountain living, with cool summers, fresh air, and the kind of quiet that only comes with elevation. Inside, you'll find two master suites with double closets, a handy computer niche, and an easy flow between the dining room, kitchen, and living room. The fireplace anchors the living space and earns its keep on those crisp mountain evenings. Out back, a detached double-car garage and workshop give you room for vehicles, gear, and whatever projects you have going. Step out onto the open wood deck or settle into the screened porch and listen to the small stream running along the property. Gated access keeps the whole place private and quiet. You're minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive to some of the best high-country hiking in the region. Whether you're looking for a year-round home or a strong vacation rental, this one delivers the mountain lifestyle Western North Carolina is known for.

Completely updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on 2.55 private acres in the Balsam area, perfectly positioned between Sylva and Waynesville.

Brand new A/C system installed this year. Clean updates from top to bottom. The four-seasons room frames the show-stopping waterfall.

Once a working farm, this property is an incredible opportunity to build your dream homestead. A charming centennial farmhouse, with a porch that spans the whole front of the house, awaits your upgrades and personal touches. Enjoy a cool breeze, while listening to the sounds of a babbling creek and taking in views of the beautiful Plott Balsam Mountains. Hardwood floors are found throughout most of the home, and an original wood burning stove is the heart of the kitchen. Leave it for character, or renovate and make it your dream kitchen. With a little bit of love, this house could be cozy and sweet. Third bedroom does not have a closet, and is a pass through to the kitchen. It could be used as an office or dining room as well. Monitor heater is primary source of heat. Old fireplace has been sealed. Generous stand-up storage space under the house and an enclosed porch/sunroom is just off the back of the home. The 6.96 acres it sits on has a large length of road footage, with a creek that runs the length of the property. A generally flat field to the right side of the home would make a great place for grazing livestock or planting/gardening. With a gentle incline to the top of a ridge, this property could also be developed with several more potential home sites. The outbuildings on the property are in rough condition and may not be salvageable. This property is being sold as is, but is priced to sell!
