The “RETREAT”
The “RETREAT” is located in DICKEY MOUNTAIN ESTATES, a very desirable community located just west of Murphy North Carolina. It’s well known for its naturalness and beauty in harmony with the Smokey Mountains. Preserved with the Flora and Fauna natural to the area, the community prides itself in maintaining this condition which offers the feeling of peace and tranquility. Within this element is the “RETREAT”, a home occupying 2.41 acres overlooking a most enviable long range view, visible year round. The fall colors flood the valley below, above and around while the skies are illuminated by the morning sunrises. The double sized lot is fronted by 280 feet of well landscaped road frontage with a generous driveway and parking able to accommodate a large RV and several cars. The home has its own deep well and filtration system.
With 3100 sq. ft. The “RETREAT” is a two level log sided home with a metal roof, and 2400 sq. ft. of wrap around porches, large open decking and stairs for outdoor living. The upper level is a split floor plan and consists of a large Master bedroom with walk-in closet, bath and bay window on one side to enjoy the Mountain View and a 12x14 tiled Oak kitchen and separate laundry room. A large vaulted Great Room central with a large stone fireplace, 12ft. sliding glass doors leading to a 8x46 ft porch on one end and entry and dining area on the other end. Two bedrooms and a bath occupy the other side of the home. A wraparound porch and deck surround the upper level. The lower level consists of a 12x17 room with a closet and bath with a Jacuzzi tub. This room is currently used as an artist studio but could be a bedroom or office. A second 10x14 room is currently a music room but could be easily converted to a kitchen. A third 10x17 room is currently used for entertainment. There is a separate lower level entrance foyer which also serves the adjoining garage and carport and the adjoining Bonus Building.
The 2 level 16x24 Bonus Building of 576 sq. ft. is currently used as a fully equipped wood working shop. It could easily serve as a Guest House as it is fully insulated and finished with sheet rock.
Some of the shop equipment, appliances and furniture may be negotiated.
