About this home

This small, quaint white farmhouse, originally built in 1936, offers the perfect opportunity to embrace pastoral mountain rural living. The 1.5-story home features three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, sitting beautifully on a lovely, rolling, cleared green space that is framed by a private wooded area. While the exterior has been freshly cleaned & newly painted, the interior awaits your design imagination to bring it to life with modern updates and classic farmhouse décor. The home boasts incredible outdoor living spaces, including a full front porch with plenty of room for rockers and an old-fashioned porch swing, as well as a private full back porch that is ideal for restful evening suppers or quiet relaxation. Additionally, the grounds are completely ready for your own custom relandscaping to create private entertaining areas, and the versatile second-floor space can easily be transformed into guest sleeping quarters, an entertainment hub, or a private workspace. Easy access without the hassle of a long mountain driveway. It is perfectly suited to become a year-round permanent home, a weekend vacation getaway, or a lucrative vacation rental. Best of all, you are located just minutes away from major regional attractions, including The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee, Bryson City, Sylva, and Harrah’s Casino.
