About This Home
Tucked among rhododendron and mountain laurel on just over 11 private acres, this custom 4BR/3.5BA home offers the rare combination of privacy and easy access to town. A newly updated deck (2026) overlooks a small pond and waterfall — built for slow mornings. Inside, the main living space centers around a double height great room with a stunning stone fireplace and abundant natural light. The main level is designed for easy living: formal living and dining rooms, a great room, office, and a kitchen with maple cabinetry & walk-in pantry. The primary suite (main level) features a spa-style bathroom with steam shower and jetted tub, a walk-in closet, and laundry room. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a full bath. Downstairs, the lower level features a large recreation room plus a bedroom & bath — perfect for extended family or guests. A detached 2-car garage includes a finished apartment above — complete with kitchenette and full bath, ideal for AirBNB, in-law suite, or home office. Minutes to downtown Dillsboro and Sylva, this mountain retreat offers quick interstate access and easy reach of hiking, fishing, tubing, breweries, festivals, and some of WNC's best dining.
