Pre-inspected! This stone cottage features the most beautiful interior rock wall surrounding the wood-burning fireplace with a high-end insert providing heat throughout the entire home. The location of this rustic home is hard to beat! Lying near the top of Camp Branch Rd, you'll see great views of Waynesville in the winter time and the access road follows a beautiful creek. This home is at the end of a private road giving you plenty of privacy outside and the interior features a split bedroom floorplan extending that privacy for the living space. Each room has its own semi-en-suite full bathroom. Spectrum internet is available here allowing for remote workers to work from home! Home features surround sound wiring, new LVP flooring, updated bathrooms, updated electrical and plumbing, new septic system, new well, new roof, and more (all completed within the last 2 years).

Wonderful improved 1 acre plus lot with old rock and frame house with no value. Beautiful double rock retaining wall and nice rock work on fireplace. House is open. Easy driveway. Can't find a well, it's possibly on a spring.
