Step back in time and experience the charm of old Appalachian mountain living with this unique property spanning 10.97 acres across four lots. The 3BR/2BA cottage, built in 1945, is full of character and awaits restoration. The land itself tells a story--evoking the folklore of early Appalachian life with echoes of European settler traditions, Cherokee legends, and frontier homesteads. A classic metal-roof barn, tool shed, and a detached 1BR/1BA bunkhouse provide addt'l space for guests or potential in-law accommodations. Approx. 5 acres of the property are level and usable, while the remaining acreage has been thoughtfully utilized with private hiking/biking trails that wind through the landscape. The property also offers space for dog kennels, an old pond site, and a dry creek bed adding to the natural character. Located on Walnut Creek, a state-maintained paved road, you'll also enjoy the soothing sounds of a bold creek just across the road. Despite its peaceful and private setting--enhanced by land that rises over the ridge--the property is conveniently situated just 15 minutes from Franklin, Highlands and all of the Beauty of WNC.
