Creekside Peninsula Retreat with Second Level Barn Studio Apartment. A truly unique property located on a naturally formed peninsula where Cane Creek and Laurel Branch meet. The home is perched high on the property and remained completely dry during Hurricane Helene. Step outside onto the roofed back deck, where you can relax with a cup of coffee as you overlook your garden area and listen to the gentle flow of Cane Creek. Trout are often visible from the banks, and native plants and wildlife add to the peaceful, natural setting. The lower section of the lot was cleared by the flood waters, providing a blank canvas for the next owner’s vision — whether that’s a lush garden, fruit orchard, expansive lawn, or fire pit area...or all of the above! The property also features a second-level studio apartment above the barn with its own entrance. This flexible space is perfect for hosting guests, generating rental income, or serving as a home office, artist's studio, or retreat.
