About this home

Nestled on over 13 acres, lies a solid built log cabin, with a paved state road leading up to the property line. Very private, yet not secluded, being approximately 15 minutes from either Sylva or Franklin. The views are majestic, facing south west towards the Cowee Mountain range. Stunning waterfall feature near the house and hiking trails for you to explore your acreage. This home features a deck on all three levels to take in the views. Enjoy kitchen updates such as granite countertops, hot water on demand and induction stove top. Bedroom and bath in the lower level with wood burning fireplace would make a great vacation rental.
