Tucked away at the end of the road in a private setting, yet less than a mile from downtown Dillsboro and under 10 minutes from downtown Sylva, 247 Poker Branch offers the best of both worlds: peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Situated on approximately 2 unrestricted acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features easy one-level living, a split-bedroom floor plan, attached garage, and a spacious open-concept living area. Vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors add warmth and character, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces with an island perfect for gathering. The large covered front porch is made for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and enjoying the quiet wooded surroundings. Outside, a three-tier retaining wall was added to create a generous, usable yard with room for pets, play, gardening, or entertaining. Additional land clearing and an expanded parking area add even more functionality to the property. A new HVAC system was installed in 2025, along with other thoughtful improvements throughout the property. Fiber internet is already brought directly to the home, making it easy to stay connected while enjoying your own private mountain retreat. With unrestricted acreage, end-of-road privacy, usable outdoor space, and quick access to both Dillsboro and Sylva, this property offers a hard-to-find combination of seclusion and convenience.
