About This Home

A property that offers what buyers search years to find: usable mountain land, privacy, views, and infrastructure already complete.

Tucked at the end of a quiet road just minutes from U.S. Route 441, this remarkable 4.77-acre property unfolds into three large, flat, dividable mountain parcels — an uncommon find in Western North Carolina, especially with infrastructure already in place.

Here, mornings begin with layered mountain light, evenings end under extraordinary star-filled skies, and every part of the land invites a different vision: a private retreat, a compound, additional homes, or an investment with rare built-in readiness.

A thoughtfully designed tiny home anchors the property, featuring a first-floor office/flex space, loft sleeping area, and matching custom storage shed — all positioned to take in the surrounding views. Native oak, poplar, pine, azalea, rhododendron, and dogwood frame the property naturally, creating beauty in every season.

What makes this property especially compelling is that so much of the groundwork is already complete:

• Private well

• Underground electric

• Three installed septic systems

• High-speed WIFI internet via Starlink

• Partially paved driveway

• Quick easy access off 441

Each parcel offers beautiful views and usable terrain — increasingly rare in mountain settings where steep land often limits possibilities.

Private and peaceful, yet only minutes from the conveniences of town and close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this is the kind of property buyers remember long after they leave.

Some properties are simply land.

This one invites a future.
