1073 Countryside Drive

Tucked into the wooded beauty of Countryside Acres, this beautifully maintained mountain home pairs privacy, views and easy access to both Waynesville and Maggie Valley. Set on 1.79 acres at approximately 3,250 feet in elevation, the home feels removed while remaining convenient to shopping, dining, outdoor recreation and the many attractions of Western North Carolina. A generous wraparound deck extends the living space into the trees, with mountain views framed by mature hardwoods and room to relax, dine or entertain outdoors.

Inside, warm wood floors, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the open living and dining areas a relaxed mountain character. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring the setting indoors, while the wood-burning stone fireplace with steel insert and blower provides a natural gathering place. The updated kitchen offers light enhancing cabinetry, Silestone countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless appliances, a gas range and a picture window positioned over the sink to capture the view.

The flexible two-bedroom, two-bath layout places one bedroom and a full bath on each level, creating privacy for owners and guests. Both bathrooms have been refreshed and feature heated tile floors. The lower level also provides interior access to the oversized attached garage, with excellent space for parking, storage, a workshop or outdoor gear. The broad gravel parking area easily accommodates additional vehicles.

Thoughtful improvements include central heating and air, hardwood and engineered-hardwood flooring, fiber-cement siding, updated kitchen and baths, stone retaining walls, Nest temperature monitoring and a Generac whole-house generator installed in 2020 and serviced annually. The chimney was swept with an inspection in December of 2022. The generator’s extended warranty runs through November 2027. The HVAC was inspected in 2025, and the home and roof were professionally washed in August 2026 with a transferable three-year roof-washing warranty.

Additional features include a shared well, two propane tanks and a 220-volt garage circuit suitable for an electric dryer or EV charger. Countryside Acres HOA dues are $500 annually and cover private-road maintenance. Rentals are permitted for terms of 30 days or longer; rentals of fewer than 30 days are not allowed. Whether used as a full-time residence or a peaceful mountain retreat, this inviting home offers a comfortable connection to the landscape and a wonderfully practical base for enjoying Haywood County.
