Tucked away in a peaceful setting where two year-round creeks converge, this charming site-built home sits on a very usable parcel of land that's entirely outside the flood zone. Many great upgrades include fiber cement siding, metal roof, and windows. Ideal for full-time living, a weekend escape, or a hobby homestead, the property features lush gardens, outbuildings, chicken coop, and a beautiful creekside firepit/trex deck where the sounds of flowing water create a serene backdrop. With level to rolling terrain, rich soil, raised garden beds, and various fruit trees, it’s truly a gardener’s paradise—perfect for growing, relaxing, or expanding your outdoor vision. No HOA or restrictions. Enjoy the best of rural WNC living with natural beauty, privacy, and easy paved road accessibility.
