Tucked away in the mountains just minutes from downtown Bryson City, this inviting retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful updates. The property's most remarkable feature is the presence of two bold mountain creeks with mini waterfalls flowing through the property, creating an unforgettable setting filled with the soothing sounds of rushing water. Designed for comfortable mountain living, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath home also features two versatile bonus rooms, providing flexibility for guests, a home office, hobbies, or additional sleeping space. The spacious main-level owner's suite allows for convenient one-level living, while warm hickory floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, a propane fireplace, and granite countertops create a welcoming atmosphere throughout. The fully finished walkout lower level features a second kitchen, full bath, additional living space with those 2 bonus rooms, garage access, and a private entrance, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or rental potential. Outside is where this property truly shines. Enjoy long-range mountain views, an expansive wraparound deck, patio spaces for gathering and relaxing, raised garden beds, a powered storage building, and more than 30 fruit trees. Whether you're gardening, listening to the creeks, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, the setting feels like a private mountain sanctuary. Recent improvements include a newer roof, Bosch heat pumps with smart thermostats, smart appliances, whole-house generator, water heater, and powered outbuildings. Situated on unrestricted acreage with no HOA, this unique property is conveniently located near downtown Bryson City, the NOC, Fontana Lake, and the Great Smoky Mountains.
