Immersed in tranquility, this three-bedroom mountain home with an additional bonus-room loft and three full bathrooms offers a wonderful blend of privacy, thoughtful updates, and an outdoor enthusiast's dream. Direct access to Little Hogback Creek and the Horsepasture River, along with private trails winding through lush surroundings, creates a true connection to the natural beauty of the mountains. The trails lead to a secondary lot that adds another layer of privacy and seclusion, while nearby Narrow Falls provides another opportunity to enjoy the area’s spectacular scenery.
Recent renovations throughout 2026 bring a fresh, elevated feel to the home, including a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring all-new appliances and finishes. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the open-concept living area, where natural wood floors and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace create a warm and inviting gathering space. A newly remodeled hall bathroom complements the kitchen with all-new finishes, adding both style and functionality. New furnishings complete the refresh, making the home turnkey.
Additional improvements completed within the last two years include an updated primary bathroom shower, a new HVAC system, an instant hot water heater, a whole-house dehumidifier, and an encapsulated crawl space.
Outside, mature rhododendrons and hydrangeas frame the home and driveway, while thoughtfully placed landscape lighting creates a welcoming ambiance after sunset. Relax to the soothing sounds of the creek from the expansive back deck, or gather around the firepit on the lower patio for cool mountain evenings.
Located just 12 minutes from downtown Cashiers, the home offers convenient access to boutique shopping, dining, and everything the village has to offer. Ownership also provides access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, including heated pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, winter months, skiing, snow tubing, and snowboarding, a nine-hole golf course, and Fairfield Lake for swimming and boating.
With a successful rental history, this beautifully updated home is equally suited as a private mountain retreat or an income-producing property. Combining creekside serenity, access to trails and waterfalls, extensive recent improvements, and convenient proximity to Cashiers, it offers a special opportunity to enjoy the best of mountain living.
