About this home

This listing is for the sale of 2 adjoining properties, 560 Winchester Creek Rd (1.48 acres) and 484 Winchester Creek Rd (2.02 acres). These 2 separate parcels can be sold individually at a later date if desired. Originally envisioned as a single-family homesite, this exceptional 3.5-acre Winchester Creek retreat has been thoughtfully renewed and expanded into a special mountain sanctuary. Two separate structures offer a combined total of 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 3,087 square feet of living area. The oversized climate controlled RV garage below the main house adds another 1,350 square feet with dedicated electrical and plumbing connections along with a half bath. The upstairs 650 square foot loft features a bright modern living space with sleeping area, kitchenette and full bathroom. Perched above the surrounding landscape and tucked away on a private road, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, serenity, and long-range mountain and pastoral views. The main residence and the newly completed (2024) multi-use guest quarters provide remarkable flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Multi-generational living, extended-stay guests, or short-term rental opportunities are all viable options. The 2,412 square foot residence is warm and inviting, designed for comfort and year-round enjoyment. Large windows frame the surrounding natural beauty, while the outdoor deck becomes a true extension of the living space. All three bedrooms in the residence have en suite baths. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee as the sun rises over the mountains or unwinding in the evening beside the huge stone fireplace, the setting is peaceful, restorative, and unmistakably Western North Carolina. Designed with reliability and peace of mind, the property includes two whole-house standby generators, ensuring uninterrupted comfort in every season. The land itself is a highlight—gently rolling, beautifully maintained, and bordered by the natural beauty that defines the Winchester Creek area. Step outside your door and explore the neighborhood’s scenic trails, streams, and waterfalls, or take on the adventure of hiking to the iconic Lyn Lowry Cross. Wildlife sightings, star-filled night skies, and the soothing quiet of nature create an atmosphere that feels worlds away, yet the conveniences of town are remarkably close. Despite its private setting, the location is exceptionally convenient. You’re just 10 minutes from downtown Waynesville, with its vibrant arts scene, local restaurants, and year-round events. Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, and the Asheville Regional Airport are all within a 30-minute drive, making travel and day trips effortless. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being only one mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of America’s most treasured scenic byways and 45 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, full of water sports, ziplining, mountain biking, hiking and more. Charming mountain towns including Sylva, Highlands, Franklin, Bryson City, and Cherokee are all within easy reach, offering endless opportunities for exploration, dining, shopping, and recreation. With an extensive list of recent improvements and upgrades (see attached documents) this remarkable property offers a rare blend of comfort, versatility, and natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a private mountain retreat, a multi-generational compound, an income-producing property, or a home base for adventure, this Winchester Creek sanctuary delivers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the very best of mountain living in Western North Carolina. Many of the furnishings pictured including a 2024 Kawasaki Mule Pro-MX EPS are negotiable.
