PRICE IMPROVEMENT!! Set in Wayah Valley at 2,600 ft elevation, this 2.36 acre property offers exceptional privacy and sweeping, layered mountain views in the heart of Nantahala National Forest, with endless hiking just minutes away. The expansive deck is the perfect place to take in the scenery and enjoy the quiet. Designed for both full-time living and short-term rental potential, the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home spans three levels, giving each floor its own sense of space and privacy. Inside, the open floor plan features soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, oversized windows that frame the views, and a stone wood-burning fireplace for classic mountain character. Hardwood floors run through the upper levels, while the kitchen, baths, and laundry showcase imported flooring from Liverpool, England. Recent upgrades include a new radon mitigation system, new termite bond, new UV filtration system, and Starlink internet that conveys. Includes a one-car garage. An additional 3.2 acres is available for purchase. A hard-to-find blend of seclusion, panoramic views, and true connection to the outdoors, all set in the scenic mountains of Western North Carolina.
