Nestled on 4.8 private acres with easy year-round paved access, this creekfront cabin offers the perfect basecamp for exploring the best of Western North Carolina. The heart of the home features a bright, open floor plan where the spacious living room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove and rich hardwood floors. A large kitchen with granite countertops flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an ideal space for gathering after a day on the trails. The main floor includes a functional bedroom and a bathroom featuring a custom walk-in river rock and tile shower. Upstairs, a charming loft bedroom opens to a private balcony, accompanied by a versatile bonus room and a second bathroom where you can relax in a classic clawfoot soaking tub beneath a bright, overhead skylight. The lower level provides even more living space with a large recreation/family room and a gas stove, along with a separate storage room and a one-car carport.
The outdoor space is a true sanctuary, featuring a dedicated fire pit area where you can sit and listen to the rushing creek just off the hill. While the mountain views are already beautiful, they can be opened up even further to suit your vision. This property’s location is unbeatable for outdoor enthusiasts, situated just minutes from downtown Bryson City and the emerald waters of Fontana Lake. You are perfectly positioned near the world-class mountain biking at Tsali Recreation Area and the high-adventure waters of the Nantahala, Tuckaseegee, and Little Tennessee Rivers. Whether you are heading to Cherokee for entertainment, hopping onto the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, or taking a short drive into Asheville, you are surrounded by endless hiking and biking trails. With its blend of privacy, creekfront sounds, and proximity to every major mountain attraction, this cabin is an incredible opportunity for a personal retreat or a premier vacation rental.
