About This Home

Discover the ultimate Western North Carolina lifestyle with this exceptional mountain cabin, privately situated on 4.8 pristine acres with the rare convenience of easy, year-round paved access. Inside, the heart of the home features a bright, open-concept floor plan where rich hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning stove anchor the inviting living room. The spacious kitchen, complete with premium granite countertops, flows effortlessly into the dining area to create a natural gathering hub after a day of outdoor adventure. Designed for main-level living, the first floor hosts a highly functional bedroom alongside a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a custom walk-in river rock and tile shower. Upstairs, the charming loft bedroom opens to its own private balcony—perfect for morning coffee—and is accompanied by a versatile bonus room and a second full bathroom boasting a classic clawfoot soaking tub beneath a bright overhead skylight. The fully finished lower level significantly expands your living space, offering a large family and recreation room warmed by a gas stove, plus a separate storage room and a convenient attached carport.

The exterior of the home is a true outdoor sanctuary. A portion of a rushing creek flows down below on the acreage, allowing you to sit on the expansive covered porch and enjoy the soothing, crisp sounds of the water echoing up the hillside. For a closer experience, head down to the dedicated fire pit area to relax right by the stream. The property already showcases beautiful mountain views, which can be further cleared and expanded to match your personal vision.

Strategically located for outdoor enthusiasts and vacation renters alike, the cabin sits just minutes from the charm of downtown Bryson City and the emerald waters of Fontana Lake. You are perfectly positioned to enjoy world-class mountain biking at Tsali Recreation Area, as well as high-adventure rafting and fishing on the Nantahala, Tuckaseegee, and Little Tennessee Rivers. With quick proximity to entertainment in Cherokee, scenic drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and a day trip into Asheville, you are truly surrounded by endless exploration. Offering the perfect blend of secluded privacy, ambient waterfront sounds, and immediate access to every major mountain attraction, this cabin represents an incredible opportunity as a high-yield vacation rental or your own premier personal retreat.
