Perched in the Raccoon Ridge community, this mountain retreat delivers what everyone dreams of but few truly find-endless long-range mountain views that frame unforgettable sunsets year-round. A perfect front-row seat to the beauty of each season Western North Carolina has to offer-from spring's vibrant blooms to summer's lush greenery, autumn's fiery foliage, & winter's serene snow-dusted peaks. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the oversized lot-rare for this community-offering a usable yard, beautiful landscaping, & extra privacy. The owners have spared no expense in updating & maintaining the essentials: a 50-year architectural roof (2025), tankless hot water heater (2023), HVAC (2023), updated appliances, a thoughtfully engineered retaining wall with concrete drainage (2025), fresh driveway gravel(2025), a newly stained garage floor (2025), & a brand-new septic drain field (2025) being installed to accommodate three bedrooms. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with a cozy gas-log fireplace, along with a secondary bedroom, full bath, and laundry. The space flows into a full finished walk-out basement complete with a spacious family/game room, bar, third bedroom, & full bath. Just outside, relax in the hot tub while taking in the breathtaking mountain horizon. Lower level lives like its own retreat -providing both privacy as a guest suite & income opportunity as short-term rental opportunity. Oversized & detached, temperature-controlled garage offers even more versatility, featuring an office space with a mini-split unit for year-round comfort. Additional highlights include a security system, community-provided underground power, & main room furnishings that remain unless otherwise negotiated-making this truly a turn-key, move-in-ready home. All of this is just minutes from Murphy, NC; Hayesville, NC; & Hiawassee, GA, giving you easy access to shopping, dining, & recreation close by to your peaceful mountain escape.
