Photos can't quite do this place justice, but we sure gave it a try! The waterfall runs between enormous moss-covered rocks beside a sitting deck, with a towering boulder rising above it all. It's hard to capture the scale of the rock or the sound of the water in a photo. This is one you need to see, and hear, in person. Brand-new stairs lead down to the water, where there's room to pull up a chair and stay awhile. But give yourself time to enjoy the house, too. The sunroom brings in plenty of natural daylight, with space for plants, a reading chair, or a table overlooking the wooded surroundings. A fireplace in the living area gives you somewhere to gather when the weather turns cool, and the two-bedroom, two-bath layout keeps the house a manageable size. The detached studio with attic space gives you somewhere separate to work on a project, set up a hobby room, or keep your supplies without taking over the house. Additional storage buildings provide room for tools and outdoor gear, while several outdoor sitting areas let you change your view throughout the day. The sellers have put considerable work into getting the property ready, including new exterior stairs, a brand-new whole-house dehumidification system, and other repairs and improvements. Set on approximately 0.70 acres in the Cullasaja area of Franklin, there's more here than a photo can fit. Come walk through the house, spend a little time in the sunroom, and finish your visit down by the waterfall.
