Discover the potential of this 3/2 Charming Farmhouse nestled on 1.766 acres in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, near Bryson City. Classic farmhouse/rural cottage vibe — simple, cozy, and functional, ideal for those seeking a mountain retreat or a peaceful permanent home. The creek-side porch and private acreage offer a serene, almost off-grid feel, while remaining just far enough from neighbors to enjoy solitude. Plenty of space for gardening, outdoor living, future additions, or simply enjoying open, quiet surroundings. A rare combination of flat, usable land and mountain scenery. The exterior has been maintained and partially renovated; a metal roof was installed in 2004. The interior of the home is ready for, and in need of renovation; offering a great opportunity for buyers who want to add value or design their own mountain retreat. Original wormy chestnut embellishments throughout.
