About This Home

UNIQUE MOUNTAIN PROPERTY! Privacy/Mountain Views/Expansive Usable Yard/Oversized Garage w/4-Car Capacity-Workshop/Rolling Pastures/Close Proximity to Waynesville/Maggie Valley.

Contact The Cabin Fairy For Your Personal Tour! Tucked within a serene gated community, this enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat rests gracefully on over 3 private acres with a new roof, whole-house water filtration system, outdoor hot tub and authentically designed mountain firepit — where nature, comfort, and quiet luxury come together in perfect harmony.

A gently cascading mountain stream winds through the property, creating a peaceful, ever-present soundtrack that elevates both everyday living and guest experiences. With well-maintained roads guiding you home and a level upper driveway entry, access is as effortless as it is inviting.

Inside, the main level unfolds with an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area anchored by a charming wood stove designed for cozy evenings and memorable gatherings. The primary suite, second bedroom, full bath, and laundry are thoughtfully positioned on this level for ease and functionality.

Upstairs, a spacious open-concept loft offers incredible flexibility, ideal as an additional sleeping area, creative retreat, or lounge space. Expansive fixed-glass windows frame tranquil views of the flowing mountain stream, bringing the outdoors in and filling the space with natural light.

The oversized basement garage provides generous room for storage, workshop use, or additional potential. Seasonal winter views enhance the sense of privacy, offering a layered mountain backdrop that shifts beautifully throughout the year.

Offered fully furnished, this property is not only move-in ready, it’s also turnkey for continued success as a short-term rental, blending investment potential with the signature charm of a Cabin Fairy-approved escape.

A place where ease meets enchantment, and every detail invites you - or your guests - to stay just a little longer.
