256 Low Gap Rd, Hayesville, NC 28904

Craftsman charm meets true low-maintenance mountain living in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence set on 1.638 unrestricted acres just minutes from Lake Chatuge, the town of Hayesville, and Hiawassee, with easy access to the area's many attractions. Step inside to cathedral ceilings soaring over an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, anchored by durable concrete floors that run throughout the home. Character is everywhere you look: wood windows, extensive trim work, and wood-clad walls give the interior a warm, handcrafted feel. A loft provides additional storage, and a pellet stove keeps things cozy through the cool winter months, while great tree cover naturally shades the home and keeps it comfortable in summer. Outside, the large screened porch is made for enjoying the mountain air, and the firepit area sets the stage for evenings under the stars. The grounds are level and extensively landscaped, with a dedicated garden area for anyone who wants to grow their own. A 2-car detached garage with a workshop area offers room for vehicles, projects, or extra storage. Practical upgrades round out the package: a low-maintenance metal roof, classic cedar siding, and fiber optic internet already available — a rare find this far into the mountains. With no restrictions on the acreage, the possibilities here go well beyond the house itself. * Some images may include virtual staging or digital enhancements for illustrative purposes.
