About this home

This 35 acre mountain estate is located in the picturesque Cullasaja River Valley. The home has been completely updated with a warm mixture of wood and sheet rock and features three bedrooms and three full baths with plenty of room for expansion. The 35 acre parcel has numerous elevated building sites, allowing for tremendous long range mountain views if someone were looking to build on the upper portion and have the existing house become the guest house. 4x4 trails are already in place that meander through the timber land that is on the upper portion of the property. The potential is endless.
