Description
This rare property has not been on the market for almost 20 years! No restrictions, STR allowed. Absolutely NO damage from Helene. Additional 3.85 acre lot (MLS #4394738) across the street is also for sale. Experience the soothing sound of rushing water from this peaceful mountain retreat on 1.18 acres with direct access to a bold, year-round creek that is stocked with trout. The moment you arrive, the setting feels private and restorative, with the creek’s sounds carrying across the property and into the home. This is a place where nature takes center stage, offering a rare blend of usable land, wooded privacy, and the kind of creek frontage buyers dream of. The home offers a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bath layout designed for easy living, whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment opportunity. The main living area is warm and inviting, with natural light filtering in, and rustic logs supporting the ceiling and framing the walls. The kitchen is simple and functional, with brand new stainless steel refrigerator and electric stove included. Step outside onto the spacious deck and take in the sweeping view of the acreage below. The deck overlooks a large cleared area that slopes toward the creek, creating a beautiful outdoor space for gardening, play, pets, or simply relaxing to the sound of moving water. Plenty of space for a large garden. Enjoy a level yard near the homesite with the remainder of the property left wooded for a peaceful, natural setting. The terrain slopes down toward the creek, offering elevation and views of the water below. Additional grading or a pathway could enhance access to the creek if desired. Whether you prefer to fish for trout, sit by the water’s edge, explore the banks, or simply listen from the deck, the creek provides a constant connection to nature that is both calming and energizing. Properties with this level of creek presence are increasingly rare, especially with usable land and direct access. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with the primary suite offering its own bath for added convenience. The second bedroom and separate bath provide flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies. The bedrooms feature large walk-in closets. The attached garage/workspace can be converted to a third bedroom, workshop, art studio, storage or park the car. Weatherproof 220V outlet on exterior wall. An additional unfinished basement with 7' headroom located on the back of the house has room for the John Deere mower that comes with the house. The home’s layout is efficient and easy to maintain, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time on upkeep, thanks to the luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Located just 10.5 miles from Walmart, 11-12 miles from downtown Sylva restaurants and shops, and close to hiking and water sports. Owner is a licensed Realtor in Florida.
