Five acres of Western Carolina mountain living coming on the market this Memorial weekend!
Perched above Cullowhee, 658 Tilley Creek Road offers the kind of privacy and space that's genuinely hard to find. Five usable acres of land give you room to breathe, garden, explore, or build — and the property's storage shed/ workshop mean there's a place for everything.
Inside, 2000+ sq ft of well-kept living space is thoughtfully laid out across 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a private primary ensuite that makes coming home feel like a retreat. A bonus room in the basement adds flexibility for a home office, studio, or guest overflow. Built in 1994 and lovingly maintained, the home has the warmth and character of a mountain property that's been lived in and cared for.
Outside, the gravel driveway winds through mature trees to a setting that feels worlds away — just minutes to our beloved Western Carolina University!
Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, a creative retreat, or a property with serious land potential — this one checks every box.
Schedule your private showing today. Come check it out at out Kick Off Open House this Monday 12-2
