About this home
Come home to the quiet of the mountains without giving up convenience. This inviting retreat sits in Whispering Hills, a peaceful community just minutes from downtown Murphy, with paved access and an easy drive to everyday needs. Step inside and the home feels warm and usable from the start. Granite countertops give the kitchen a polished, lasting finish--ready for simple weeknight meals or slow weekend mornings. The layout is easy to live in, with a comfortable flow that makes the space feel open and welcoming. It's the kind of house you settle into quickly, whether you're here full time or just for the weekend. The extras are what make it work. A finished metal roof is built for mountain weather and low upkeep. The screened-in porch is the heart of outdoor living--coffee at sunrise, a book in the afternoon, or evening air without the bugs. A detached garage adds real storage and workspace, and the paved parking area keeps parking and coming-and-going simple in every season. The location is the other big plus. Murphy sits where the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers meet, with lakes, forests, and trails all around. Downtown is close for dining, shops, and the River Walk. Nearby you'll find Hiwassee and Apalachia Lakes, the John C. Campbell Folk School, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino, and day trips to Blue Ridge, the Nantahala Gorge, and the Ocoee. Private enough to feel like a getaway, close enough to live well. Come see 305 Whispering Hills Rd and picture your next chapter in the mountains!
