Almost 21 acres! Tucked away at the end of a country road, this property offers privacy and the sounds of Buckhorn Creek running beside the cabin. Wooded acreage and open land adjoin U. S. Forest Service land, creating a peaceful setting in the mountains of western North Carolina. The main cabin offers 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths, an updated kitchen, a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove and office space. The screened porch and three-season room, complete with a robust gas fired fireplace, is a wonderful place to take in the view down the valley and listen to the creek. A separate guest cabin provides a bedroom, full bath and full kitchen, along with workshop space and a large attached carport. The property also includes storage buildings, a private well, spring water, small ponds and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the wildlife. With walking trails for miles and national forest land adjacent to the property, it's a place to slow down and enjoy the mountains.
