A Multi-Generational Retreat in the Heart of the Mountains

Set on approx. 2.35± usable acres in Cowee, this versatile property combines a 3BD/2BA fully furnished primary residence with a detached 2BD/2BA guest home, ideal for multigenerational living, live/rent, or a turnkey STR play.

This property is an active income generator, successfully operating as both a short-term and long-term rental. To ensure immediate revenue for the new owner, all future short-term rental bookings will transfer at closing. The main residence features a spacious layout with formal dining, two living areas, and an island kitchen. Convenience is key with three bedrooms on the main level—including a primary suite with an ensuite bath—while a large upstairs bonus room offers the perfect space for a home office or studio.

Outside, you’ll find level, usable yard space, a 25'×32' heated/cooled workshop with water, power, and a new mini-split, plus a full RV pad with dedicated septic, a rare amenity stack at this price point. The parcel is partially fenced, with room for gardens, pets, or a firepit, and the paved, flat driveway provides easy year-round access.

Franklin is known as the "Gem Capital of the World." The area is rich in gems and minerals and is a favorite spot for rockhounds of all ages. The famous Cowee Valley north of Franklin lures thousands each year to its mines which yield valuable stones to lucky miners annually. Among the native stones found are ruby, sapphire and garnets, just to name a few.

Franklin lies within the Nantahala National Forest. Comprised of over half of a million acres of unspoiled beauty, the rolling mountains rise to peaks over 5,000 ft. high from the valley of the Little Tennessee River. Spectacular waterfalls, pristine fishing streams, and abundant wildlife are among the area’s many natural treasures. The mountainscape is lined with many wonderful hiking trails, including the famous Appalachian Trail, which meanders for 60 miles along the crest of the Nantahala Mountains.
