Rustic charm is the first thing that hits you when you pull up to 903 Plott Balsam Road in the private, community of Cranberry Falls. Set high in the mountains above Maggie Valley, this is real mountain living, with cool summers, fresh air, and the kind of quiet that only comes with elevation.
Inside, you'll find two master suites with double closets, a handy computer niche, and an easy flow between the dining room, kitchen, and living room. The fireplace anchors the living space and earns its keep on those crisp mountain evenings. Out back, a detached double-car garage and workshop give you room for vehicles, gear, and whatever projects you have going. Step out onto the open wood deck or settle into the screened porch and listen to the small stream running along the property.
You're minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive to some of the best high-country hiking in the region. Whether you're looking for a year-round home or a strong vacation rental, this one delivers the mountain lifestyle Western North Carolina is known for.
