    Discover the potential of this 3/2 Charming Farmhouse nestled on 1.766 acres in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, near Bryson City. Classic farmhouse/rural cottage vibe — simple, cozy, and functional, ideal for those seeking a mountain retreat or a peaceful permanent home. The creek-side porch and private acreage offer a serene, almost off-grid feel, while remaining just far enough from neighbors to enjoy solitude.

Original wormy chestnut embellishments throughout.
