Briar Patch is one of those neighborhoods that earns the word "surprising." Positioned directly above the WCU campus with year-round views of university grounds and the surrounding mountains, it manages to stay genuinely quiet, a point that appears unprompted in many of the Airbnb guest reviews spanning five years of short-term rentals at this address. Adjacent student housing complexes operate under enforceable noise restrictions, and the result is a residential street that functions entirely on its own terms. The home is a well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch on a level, half-acre open lot. Hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, a formal living room, and a separate family room give the main living area a comfortable and flexible layout. The roof, HVAC, electrical system, plumbing, and primary appliances have all been upgraded and/or replaced and are in verified working condition. Public water service and an insulated exterior with vinyl and brick finish make this a move-in-ready property without a project list attached. The property's most distinctive asset is an attached 1-bedroom efficiency suite with its own private exterior entry and near-complete sound isolation from the main home. This suite has operated as a licensed short-term rental since 2021, generating $20,900 across 83 bookings in 2025 alone and earning Airbnb Superhost and Guest Favorite status with 153 reviews at a 4.9-star rating. Current figures reflect intentional owner-use blackout dates, meaning a new owner who converts those dates to bookings has additional upside already built in. The current owners note that in five years of continuous operation, the suite has never produced a noise or disturbance in the main living area. Buyers with no interest in short-term rentals will find the suite equally well-suited as a private primary ensuite, guest quarters with independent access, or a dedicated home office with a separate entrance. The property functions as a hub for western North Carolina. Waynesville, Cashiers, Cherokee, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are within 30 minutes. Bryson City and Franklin are 40 minutes out. Asheville is approximately one hour away. The Tuckasegee River, popular for whitewater paddling, kayaking, and fly fishing, runs through the area. The yard includes a 24-by-24-foot concrete basketball court. A double attached carport with an integrated storage building complete the property

This quiet, secluded location is on a paved, state-maintained road within a short driving distance of Western Carolina University. A 2 BR septic system is installed (contact Jackson County Environmental Health for instruction of expansion, if needed to suit your plans).

A well-built driveway is accessed directly from the paved state-maintained Moses Creek Rd. Currently, there's a large dead tree laying across the driveway and another standing dead tree which the sellers decided to leave in place while selling the property for security and to allow the new owner to make their own design decisions about the entryway. From the Seller, “this property is a treasure and in the interest of protecting the natural beauty and the professional grade driveway and house site from damage, we decided to leave a fallen tree in place while the property is being marketed. At closing, we are prepared to make a concession of $2,500.00 to the Buyers for driveway entrance enhancement or other improvements the buyer may wish to make as they prepare to fulfill their ultimate vision of this property that we have loved so well.” Call your Buyer's Agent to see this Moses Creek property and enjoy the mountain view, the seasonal wildflowers, the diversity of hardwood forest and the serenity of birdsong and preserved habitat acreage home to local wildlife.

Hinoki House is a rare architectural offering in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Japanese-inspired design and natural landscape exist in quiet balance. Set on more than 17 acres within gated Cullowhee Forest, the property offers privacy, riverfrontage, and a level of serenity increasingly difficult to find. A collaboration between the owners and MossCreek Designs, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence reflects the restraint and simplicity of traditional Asian architecture while embracing the scale and beauty of its mountain setting. Designed as a glass lantern with windows wrapping both levels, the home maximizes light and vertical space with ceilings of 12 feet or higher, expansive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas, and two main-level bedrooms with two-and-a-half baths. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw the outdoors in, framing views of a private waterfall, cascading water features, deep granite pools, and hundreds of feet of riverfrontage. Douglas fir lodge-pole framing, mulberry and cedar walls and ceilings sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors add warmth and craftsmanship throughout. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate kitchen, a bonus room, and a laundry area, offering flexibility for guests or extended stays. Wraparound covered decks on both levels extend the living spaces outdoors, overlooking hiking trails, koi ponds, outdoor showers, Japanese gardens, a fire pit, and a dining gazebo — all set against sweeping mountain views. From the gorge to the mountaintop knoll, the landscape feels both expansive and deeply private. The estate includes a 6.37-acre primary lot and an 11.47-acre secondary parcel featuring a nearly level mountaintop knoll, ideal for a second dwelling. Well-loved and carefully maintained, Hinoki House represents a rarely available architectural retreat, where thoughtful design and irreplaceable natural setting converge.
