Beautiful Mountain Home for Rent in Sylva, NC
Looking for a peaceful place to call home in the mountains? We're getting ready to rent our 5 bedroom 3 bath home at 270 Blake Branch Rd in Sylva, and we'd love to find someone who will enjoy it as much as we have.
This spacious home sits on nearly 2 acres in a beautiful, peaceful setting with mountain views just minutes from WCU and the town of Sylva. There's plenty of room to spread out, relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors while still being close to everything Sylva has to offer.
The home has had a lot of love and improvements, including a new roof, gutters, updated exterior, refreshed deck, driveway improvements, and interior updates. The kitchen features a gas cooktop and double oven, making it a great space for anyone who enjoys cooking and gathering.
One of the things we've always loved about this property is the combination of privacy and convenience. You get that peaceful mountain-home feeling without being far from Sylva, restaurants, shopping, outdoor activities, and Western Carolina University.
We're hoping to find a responsible tenant who will appreciate this home and treat it with care.
