Escape the crowded neighborhoods and enjoy true mountain living in this chalet-style cabin on 0.94 acres bordering US Forest Service property. The home needs cosmetic updating but offers the setting, layout, and mountain character buyers are looking for, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, 1,088 sq ft, wood siding, cathedral ceilings, and a fireplace. Mountain views set the tone from the side deck or screened sunroom, which extends your living space for morning coffee, rainy afternoons, or cool evening air. A ground-level porch with swing adds classic cabin charm, and the basement workshop gives you room for tools, hobbies, or extra storage. With fiber optic internet, paved road access, and gravel parking, you get the privacy buyers want without giving up practical comforts. Close to Murphy's outdoor recreation and minutes from Erlanger Western Carolina Hospital, John C. Campbell Folk School, and Tri-County Community College.
