About this home
Resting along a private ridgeline at 3,500 feet in elevation, this mountain home offers long-range views, end-of-the-road privacy, and a rare double lot totaling 5.5 acres. The property captures both sunrise and sunset views, with eastern views toward Lake Junaluska and western-facing mountain scenery overlooking the Cataloochee Divide and Great Smoky Mountains. A private walking trail follows the ridgeline, offering a peaceful way to enjoy the natural surroundings and wildlife. Natural light fills the home, with mountain views visible from much of the interior. Full-length double decks and French doors on both levels make it easy to enjoy the outdoor setting. The main level features a spacious living room with a wood stove, a large eat-in kitchen, and a sunroom/dining area positioned to take in the scenery. The primary suite includes three closets, an ensuite bath, and washer/dryer hookups, along with a half bath on the main level. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry/utility area, attached one-car garage, and a flexible bonus guest room with a separate entrance, or accessed through the garage—ideal for guests, an office, hobby space, or additional storage. With 3 bedrooms plus the bonus guest room, the layout offers flexibility for a variety of needs. Recent updates include a new roof (2024), well pump, and reinforced retaining wall with improved drainage. Additional features include paved road access, low HOA fees of $500/year, no city taxes, and propane gas stove and water heater. Offered furnished with a few exceptions, this property combines privacy and mountain living while still being about 20 minutes to Waynesville and approximately 30 minutes to Asheville, Cherokee, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
