Buy this home for the view, buy it for the layout, or buy it because it offers both in one exceptional package. At 520 Trials Gap Drive, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,595 square feet, you’ll find one of Haywood County’s most striking pastoral and mountain settings paired with a comfortable single-level floor plan.
The covered front porch is a welcoming entryway that leads into a home designed for easy living. The kitchen, living room, and primary suite all capture the outstanding eastern panorama — rolling farmland, open skies, and mountain ridges touched by sunrise. The ample dining room and convenient laundry room add to the functionality, while a cozy gas log fireplace anchors the living space.
The centerpiece outdoors is the recently scrubbed 10' by 58' rear deck, extending the full length of the home. Here, mornings begin with coffee, afternoons invite relaxation, and evenings bring entertaining, all framed by long-range views that make Western North Carolina such a special place.
An oversized two-car garage completes the package with space for vehicles, tools, and hobbies. The manageable homesite balances privacy with accessibility, offering both retreat and connection to the surrounding community.
