Discover the perfect blend of convenience, privacy, and mountain serenity at 506 Rocky Acres—a true Western North Carolina retreat set on approximately 14 acres and located just minutes from I-40, downtown Canton, Asheville, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a unique short-term rental opportunity, this property offers an exceptional setting with features rarely found at this price point.
Perched on a peaceful ridge line, this expansive property showcases breathtaking long-range views of iconic Cold Mountain and multiple surrounding ranges. Enjoy unforgettable sunsets and quiet mornings on the back porch as the landscape shifts with the seasons—verdant greens in summer, kaleidoscopes of color in fall, and snow-kissed peaks in winter.
At the heart of the acreage sits a charming off-grid cabin, thoughtfully equipped with solar power and a spring-fed water source, allowing for self-sufficient, low-impact living without sacrificing comfort. The cabin features a cozy interior layout, natural wood finishes, and windows that frame the spectacular views. Whether used as a personal getaway, guest house, or creative space, it provides a rare opportunity to unplug and unwind surrounded by nature.
The 14 acres offer a mix of gentle and sloping terrain with opportunities for gardening, hiking, recreation, or future expansion. Mature hardwoods, abundant wildlife, and quiet surroundings create a sense of true mountain escape while remaining close to all modern conveniences.
With easy access to outdoor recreation, hiking trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the vibrant culture and dining of Asheville, this property delivers the ideal balance of solitude and accessibility. Properties combining this level of acreage, views, and off-grid capability do not come along often.
If you’ve been searching for a mountain property with character, potential, and unforgettable vistas—506 Rocky Acres is a must-see. Schedule your showing today and experience the magic of Cold Mountain from your own private perch.
