This home is uniquely beautiful, tucked away on just under 3 acres off Kanuga Road, with most everyone not knowing of its existence. Which is what may have attracted Minnie Pearl to visit her sister here knowing she could get away from it all in the peaceful mountains of Western North Carolina. The main house has lots of light and space to live, yet entertain when you choose. 3 Bedrooms/3 full baths in the main living area, then another bedroom/bath in the guest cottage connected via a deck to the main house. The basement offers lots of light for the family room, a bonus or bedroom, and bar. The most recent owner made many improvements to this jewel. We think you will say it's awesome.

R-40
Estate Residential District
The Estate Residential District (R-40) is established to maintain the zoning in place prior to the adoption of this Chapter 42. This district is established as a district in which the principal use of the land is for low-density residential use. This district is intended to ensure that residential development not having access to public water supplies and dependent upon septic tanks for sewage disposal will occur at a sufficiently low density to provide a healthful environment. This district is also intended to be a quiet, low-density neighborhood consisting of single-family residences. The R-40 District shall not be extended from the locations designated on the Official Zoning Map, nor shall new R-40 District areas be designated except where initiated by the Board of Commissioners or Planning Board. The R-40 District may be altered or removed with the completion of Community Plans.
Permit history is from public records and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Redfin and its agents make no representations about the property condition or permit status. Buyers should independently verify all information.
