About This Home

This beautifully crafted mountain home offers the ideal combination of comfort, natural beauty, and convenience, making it a perfect full-time residence, mountain retreat or investment rental. Designed with both functionality and charm in mind, the home features an inviting open-concept great room with warm wood flooring and an abundance of windows with eastern exposure to fill the space with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. Just outside, a covered front porch provides a peaceful setting to relax with your coffee in the mornings and take in scenic views of the Tuckaseegee River flowing below the property.

Situated on a gently sloping, wooded lot, the property requires minimal maintenance, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the surrounding mountain lifestyle. Add some natural plantings along the road for privacy and selectively trim or remove a few trees and create a rock patio with an outdoor kitchen and firepit from which you enjoy majestic views of the river and long range views of the mountains. The home is connected to Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer, offering reliable utilities as well as the flexibility to expand the residence if additional space is desired. With no HOA fees or restrictions and easy access via paved, state-maintained roads just 200 yards from US 23 & 441, the property combines privacy with convenience to the area's many outdoor recreation, dining and entertainment opportunities. It's all waiting for you in the Sylva/Dillsboro area and western North Carolina!

Inside, the main level features two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet and private bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike. The upper level offers a versatile open loft space that can serve as an additional bedroom, office, or hobby area, along with a half-bath and access to heated and cooled attic-style storage. Recent updates include a new metal roof installed in 2022 and a new electric hot water heater installed this year, ensuring modern reliability.

The location offers exceptional access to outdoor recreation and local attractions. The nearby Tuckaseegee River is well known for its catch-and-release dry fly trout fishing from October through May, as well as opportunities for rafting, kayaking, and tubing during the warmer months. The charming town of Dillsboro is just minutes away, offering a variety of restaurants, breweries, and historic appeal, while Sylva is approximately one mile from the property. Additional nearby destinations include Western Carolina University (6 miles), Cherokee and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (15 miles), and the Cashiers/Highlands area, all within a short drive.

For added peace of mind, the property is not located within a floodplain and was unaffected by recent storm events. The home also benefits from ample sunlight year-round, with minimal winter accumulation of snow and ice. Lovingly built and maintained by its original owners for over 30 years, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed mountain home in a highly desirable location.
