Property Description
Tucked away at the very end of the road, where the noise drops off and the woods take over, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home sits right in the heart of 1.57 acres of lush, private woodland-unrestricted and truly your own. Follow the sound of the water and you'll find one of the property's best features: a beautiful, bubbling, rocky-bottom creek that feels like your own hidden retreat. Whether it's morning coffee or winding down in the evening, that setting alone is hard to come by. The two-sided wrap-around porch stretches out like an extension of the home, giving you that "treehouse in the woods" feel-elevated, peaceful, and completely surrounded by nature. Inside, the main level offers a comfortable flow with a spacious living room, dining area, kitchen, full bath, laundry, and primary bedroom-all designed for easy living. Downstairs, you'll find two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy family room that opens out to an additional patio-perfect for giving guests their own space or creating a second living area. What really sets this property apart is the freedom and self-sufficiency: unrestricted land means no HOA and no limitations on how you use your property, and the private well adds another layer of independence that buyers are increasingly looking for. Private. Peaceful. Creek front. Unrestricted. End-of-the-road seclusion. All of it wrapped into one hard-to-find package just north of Blue Ridge and west of Murphy-close enough to everything you need, but far enough away to feel like you've truly gotten away.
