A Mountain Homestead That's Hard to Find Set at approximately 4,000 feet in elevation, this 8.5± acre mountain homestead offers the combination that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in Western North Carolina: secluded, usable land, sweeping mountain views, and a spacious family home—Countless hikes, waterfalls, and the Blue Ridge Parkway all within 30 minutes and well within easy reach of Western Carolina University, Sylva, and Cashiers. The 3,100± sq. ft. home features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, two separate living areas, a large remodeled kitchen, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, generous laundry and storage space, a covered front porch, and an expansive 24x24 deck overlooking the property and surrounding mountains. Outside, the property has the character of an established mountain homestead, with an original two-story barn, 30x30 timber-frame pole barn built in 2024, 12x24 horse run-in, apple trees, blueberry patch, open grassy areas, and plenty of room for gardens and animals. The home also features a new shingle roof installed in 2018 and HVAC units installed in 2017. And one of our favorite things about living here is the climate. At roughly 4,000 feet, summer temperatures rarely rise above 80 degrees, making the porches, deck, gardens, and outdoor spaces enjoyable throughout the summer. You get the peace and privacy of mountain living without being completely removed: approximately 25 minutes to Western Carolina University, 30 minutes to Sylva, 40 minutes to Cashiers, and 1 hour 15 minutes to Asheville. Wolf Lake and Bear Lake public access ramps are 10 minutes away. More than a mountain house, this is a one in a million property your family can enjoy for years to come.
