WEST FORK RIVER • 3:2 CLASSIC COTTAGE • EASY MOUNTAIN VIEWS Step across the meadow to the river, settle into a chair, build a campfire and stay awhile. This classic 3-bedroom, 2-bath Southern Highlands cottage offers a relaxed mountain setting with HOA river amenities just steps away. The cottage has a history as a vacation rental, but has primarily been enjoyed as a personal mountain getaway. Easy Ramp access to the kitchen door. A WELCOMING FIRST IMPRESSION The cottage begins to charm you the moment you open the screen door and step onto the inviting screened porch, complete with comfortable seating and a dining table. The wormy chestnut front door, with its rolled-glass window, sets the tone for a home that feels as though it has been here for generations—yet it was built in 2003. Inside, you'll find warm wood floors, a gracious living room arranged around the fireplace, a dining area with seating for six, and a breakfast bar framed by solid granite countertops. The combination of classic details and comfortable furnishings creates an easygoing place to relax, gather and enjoy mountain life. OUTDOOR LIVING The side entry opens to a small deck with a sheltered entrance and an easy-access ramp for zero-step entry. The setup also provides a convenient enclosed outdoor area for the pups. Beyond the cottage, the level parking and turnaround area is surrounded by flower gardens and outdoor gathering spaces, including a firepit, grill, table and seating. The setting opens toward a broad grassy meadow, with the river and community gathering area just beyond. And when you're ready for more river time, simply cross the meadow to the HOA common area along the West Fork of the Pigeon River. MAIN-LEVEL CONVENIENCE The open concept kitchen features solid granite countertops with a breakfast bar, stainless appliances and a classic French country farmhouse sink. The spacious pantry is always a popular feature. There is a view of the fireplace from the kitchen work station. The great room includes the dining area and the seating around the fireplace. The wood floors throughout and the beautiful wood trim add to the ambiance. The primary bedroom is located on the main level and features a private full bath with a walk-in tile shower, river-rock accents and solid-surface countertop. A stackable washer and dryer and generous closet space add everyday convenience. UPSTAIRS CHARM Upstairs, the cottage becomes even more charming with gabled ceilings and cozy architectural bump-outs that create natural spots for a reading nook or window seat. Two additional bedrooms each feature a deep walk-in closet, with a full hall bath conveniently located nearby. CLASSIC DETAILS • COMFORTABLE STYLE Wide wood window and door frames add an understated sense of quality throughout. The furnishings and décor are both sophisticated and comfortable, making the cottage easy to enjoy as a private getaway or continue as a vacation rental. Many furnishings are available. Shops and restaurants are a short 20 minute drive to "Historic Downtown Waynesville". The cottage is located just off Lake Logan Road. It is a scenic drive into the Pisgah National Forest with Sliding Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway and amazing hikes. Currently known as "Froggy Bottom on the River," the cottage has a VRBO rental history and a setting that makes it easy to understand its appeal: a comfortable mountain cottage, a grassy meadow, the sound of the river nearby—and plenty of reasons to sit outside and stay awhile.

5 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 4417094 MLS
Built in 1940 and thoughtfully remodeled and expanded , this 5 bedroom farmhouse sits on 5.45 acres in the North Carolina mountains, the kind of property equestrians and small farm owners look for and rarely find. A wraparound porch takes in long range mountain views from nearly every angle, overlooking the pasture below. Inside, the main level was clearly built for gathering. The kitchen, with its breakfast bar and center island, opens into connected dining and family rooms, making it easy to move between cooking, conversation, and company. Two fireplaces add warmth to the living spaces, and the primary bedroom is tucked away on this level with its own ensuite bath. Step outside from nearly any room and you land on a covered deck or porch, each one framing a different view of the pasture, barn, and hills beyond. Upstairs, the home splits into two separate wings, each with two bedrooms and a full bath. It is a layout that adapts easily, whether that means housing visiting family, giving teenagers their own space, or setting up a quiet wing for working from home. For the horse owner, the barn is where this property truly stands apart. The 4-stall barn has stall access from both the inside and outside, a dedicated feed and tack room to keep equipment organized and close at hand. A hayloft provides ample storage above, and drive up access makes loading and unloading hay simple and efficient. The fenced pasture surrounding the barn gives horses and other farm animals room to roam, with a stream running through the acreage that offers a natural water source. Together, the barn and grounds give this small farm real equestrian functionality, with plenty of room left over for chickens, goats, or homesteading of any kind. The detached 3-bay garage provides additional storage, with ceiling height and floor space for equipment, feed, or trailers, and additional gravel parking to accommodate trucks and horse trailers. For the equestrian or small farm buyer, this property offers a barn, pasture, water, and ample space to run a working farm, all within a "sprawling" mountain home

Versatile multi-parcel commercial opportunity in unincorporated Haywood County, offering flexibility for an investor, business owner, or developer. The property is made up of 6 individual parcels totaling approximately 9.97 acres per a recent survey (county records currently reflect less acreage, as the survey has not yet been recorded), giving a buyer the option to hold and operate the site as a whole, sell parcels individually, or explore future subdivision, subject to county ordinances. The property is bordered by two roads, Benton Drive and Beaverdam Road, and sits just off the interstate, providing convenient access for trucks, equipment, deliveries, and customer traffic. The site was formerly operated as a stump grinding facility for Evergreen Park, and the seller is including the on-site truck scale in the sale. Improvements include a 3-bay garage suited to equipment storage or maintenance, a large outdoor storage building, an older barn for additional storage or workshop space, and a partially renovated single-family house that a buyer could finish for use as a residence, office, or rental. A private septic system and well are on site, and water and sewer service through the Town of Canton may be available, subject to the Town's requirements. Haywood County has no zoning. The property is not within the Town of Canton limits or ETJ and is not in a water-supply watershed. Development and use are governed by county land-use ordinances, so future uses, including any stump grinding, wood recycling, mulch, land-clearing debris, or trucking operations, will depend on site plan review and may be subject to the High Impact Ordinance, erosion control, and state or federal permits. Portions of the property are within the mapped floodway and 100-year floodplain, which limits what can be permitted in those areas, and flood maps are expected to be updated. Buyers should verify all uses, floodplain status, utilities, and permitting with Haywood County during due diligence. The county's written response and floodplain map are available in the documents section.
