Live on permanent vacation at 4,300 ft with sweeping, multi-layered Blue Ridge Mountain views that change like a postcard every day. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath mountain charmer sits on almost an acre, just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Maggie Valley, yet feels gloriously secluded. Walk in on the main level to two bedrooms with direct access to the lower deck and bubbling hot tub, pure bliss under the stars. Upstairs you are greeted with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, stainless appliances, and walls of windows framing the endless views while you sip coffee or gather around the fire. The exterior of this mountain get away offers a circular driveway, well-maintained gravel road, treehouse, playground, and added storage in the shed that is equipped with power. If you're looking for cool summer breezes, fiery fall colors or snowy winter peaks, this property has them all year-round! At 959 Plott Balsam, every day feels like you’ve escaped to the mountains… because you have. And you will never want to leave!
