About this home

CREEK FRONT HOME AND PIGEON RIVER ACCESS!! SELLER MOTIVATED! THIS IS THAT HOUSE WE HEAR DESCRIBED FROM BUYERS ALL THE TIME. I want something that feels "a little out there', where only the surrounding sounds of the forest and rushing water can be heard, but close enough to be a quick drive to the shops, restaurants and galleries of downtown Waynesville. Where you have easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the countless trails and outdoor activities the area is so well known for. Over the river and through the woods, you’ll discover a true slice of mountain heaven. Rarely does a CREEK FRONT property like this become available—offering the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, recreation, and comfortable mountain living. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by year-round mountain views and your own bold-flowing creek that borders the property. Relax in a rocking chair on the covered front porch and take in the soothing sounds of rushing water, or open the doors and windows of this inviting cabin and let nature become part of the experience. Surrounded by trees, and with Pisgah National Forest as your backyard, this is truly a place where nature becomes both your playground and your sanctuary. Inside, the main level features a warm and welcoming open floor plan highlighted by vaulted ceilings and a cozy fireplace. The newly renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, making entertaining effortless. 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths complete the interior main level. Just off the kitchen there is an expansive outdoor living space with an enclosed screened porch providing the perfect spot to enjoy the surrounding woods in comfort. To one side of the porch you'll step outside to the large adjacent deck and enjoy your own private outdoor oasis with a hot tub cradled among the trees. To the other side, you can cozy up on those chilly nights and gather around the fire pit for s’mores and story telling, and gazing up to enjoy a spectacular canopy of stars. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility, featuring an additional bedroom/flex room, a full bathroom, and space that could accommodate a separate living area with its own entrance—ideal for guests, extended family, or additional recreational space. For added convenience you have a spacious 1 car garage with work bench and plenty of shelving and storage for all of your tools and toys. And the outdoor adventure is just steps away! Grab your fishing poles and walk a few feet to the Pigeon River for some of Western North Carolina’s renowned fly fishing. Lake Logan and the Blue Ridge Parkway are just minutes away, while charming downtown Waynesville is less than 15 minutes from your door. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a private mountain retreat, or the perfect vacation home to gather with friends and family, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, privacy, and recreation. With no HOA restrictions, you can enjoy mountain living with the freedom to make the property your own. Come experience the sights, sounds, and serenity of this truly special mountain getaway. Properties like this are rarely available—don’t miss your opportunity to make this one yours! ***Currently set up as a full 3/3, perked for 2 bedrooms*** ***Being offered Turnkey, fully furnished.
