Property Description
Morning coffee to the sound of the river, adventure waiting just outside the door, this is the rhythm of life on the Tuckasegee. This Webster home sits directly above the Tuckasegee, one of Western North Carolina's storied waterways. The Tuck, as locals know it, flows through the heart of Jackson County, cold and clear, drawing fly fishermen, kayakers and tubers from across the region. Native and stocked trout hold in its riffles year-round. Great blue herons work the shallows. In fall, the corridor of hardwoods along the banks turns the river into something almost unreasonable. You don't have to drive, it is outside your door. An abundance of windows and a sweeping screened upper porch keep the river in view whether you're inside or out. Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, an open split floor plan, and stainless appliances give the main level a clean, livable feel. A fully independent lower-level apartment with its entrance and private porch handles guests, family, or income potential without anyone sacrificing privacy. Fruit trees, solar panel and custom built-in closet shelving round out a property that's as intentional as the lifestyle it supports. Webster sits in the quiet center of Jackson County, just minutes from the bookshops, breweries and farmers market energy of downtown Sylva, and a short drive to Cullowhee and Western Carolina University. You're connected to everything that makes this corner of the mountains worth staying in, without being in the middle of it.
