Property Description

Set at approximately 3,700 feet in elevation, this 1965 farmhouse offers a tucked-away mountain setting with expansive open grassland and Blue Ridge views, while remaining convenient to Lake Glenville, Cashiers, downtown Sylva, and Western Carolina University. The home currently lives as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse, with an installed septic system sized to support three bedrooms. It carries the character and warmth of its 1965 roots, featuring a spacious kitchen and dining area, large pantry, cozy living room centered around a wood-burning stove, and generous outdoor spaces that make the most of the setting. A covered front sitting porch offers a welcoming place to start the day, while the sunroom opens to the large rear deck. Partially covered, the deck extends the living space and captures year-round, long-range, peek-a-boo mountain views. Since 2019, the property has seen substantial upgrades, including a new metal roof, premium vinyl shake siding, an expansive multi-level deck, updated kitchen and bathroom finishes, a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat three-zone system, new well equipment, whole-house surge protection, and fiber optic internet. A six-person hot tub and a small orchard with apple trees complete the setting. Perhaps the property’s most distinctive feature is the land itself. Offered as three combined parcels totaling more than four acres, the property is gently rolling, open, and partially cleared — an uncommon combination in the mountains. The main, fenced and gated parcel includes the home, detached one-car garage and workshop, separate hot tub deck, and an additional site-built storage or wood shed. Across the road, the uphill adjoining parcel features an old barn with appealing potential for restoration, storage, or reclaimed wood. Downhill, the third adjoining parcel is part of the Cullowhee Forest community, connecting to the area’s treasured natural surroundings. Through community lands, owners enjoy deeded use of the West Fork of the Tuckasegee River, along with the trail leading to High Falls and the striking 75-foot Hatcher Falls. For buyers seeking usable acreage, existing outbuildings, and room to shape something over time, this property offers flexibility, mountain character, and a location that keeps the best of western North Carolina within easy reach. Nearby Jackson County Airport supports private aviation, while Asheville Regional and Greenville-Spartanburg International remain convenient for regional travel.
