About this home
Welcome to your private country retreat! Nestled on 3 beautifully maintained acres, this charming country-style home offers the ease of main-floor living with the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and plentiful storage throughout. At the heart of the home, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning and vented fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, providing ample heat for much of the home.
Outside, enjoy a well-manicured yard with a variety of flora, fenced backyard, and a cozy fire pit—ideal for relaxing under the stars. A durable TimberTech deck is ready for your future hot tub oasis, while the recently fully-paved driveway and 50-amp outlet for an electric vehicle add modern convenience. LeafGuard gutters help minimize maintenance, and re-grading is currently underway beyond the backyard fencing to enhance drainage and provide added peace of mind during inclement weather.
As an added bonus, the property includes a clean 2-stall horse barn and a fully enclosed chicken coop, making it an ideal setup for mini-farmers, equestrian enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a true country or homesteader’s lifestyle.
Inside, all appliances and drapery convey, along with the added security of an emergency generator. A brand new furnace was installed in March of 2026, the roof was replaced in 2019, and the home has been lovingly maintained throughout.
Conveniently located near Asheville and Waynesville, and just 30–40 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains, this property offers the perfect balance of accessibility, privacy, and outdoor adventure....
