About this home
This true mountain retreat offers privacy, flexibility, and room for guests. Set on 0.94 wooded acres bordering USFS land, this chalet-style home delivers the warm cabin character buyers want, from vaulted wood ceilings and wood floors to a fireplace-centered great room made for slow mornings and cozy nights. The wraparound deck extends your living space into the trees, while paved road access, a community well, septic, and maintained HVAC add everyday practicality. A detached 2-car garage gives you space for vehicles, gear, or workshop needs, and the separate guest home, built in 2007, adds rare value with its own septic, screened porch, kitchen island, fireplace, gas tank, and shared community well. Close to downtown Murphy, Lake Hiwassee, the Murphy River Walk, and outdoor adventure, this property is built for mountain living with income, guest, or multi-generational potential.
