Set within a peaceful mountain valley just a short drive from downtown Waynesville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this private retreat offers a unique and flexible multi-dwelling arrangement complemented by tranquil mountain views. The main residence features an open layout with vaulted ceilings, a gas-vented fireplace, and a main-level primary suite, while the finished lower level adds valuable living space along with a full bath. Positioned above the detached two-car garage, a separate studio apartment of approximately 900 square feet includes its own kitchen, living area, private entrance, and dedicated septic system—well suited for guests, income potential, or extended living arrangements. The home is offered fully furnished at no additional cost, creating an easy, move-in-ready opportunity. Energy efficiency is a notable highlight, with solar panels and a Tesla battery system helping keep power costs at or near zero for much of the year. Both the main home and the garage apartment benefit from separate septic systems, adding convenience and independence to the layout. Outdoor spaces include covered porches and deck areas designed to take in the surrounding scenery, all tucked along a quiet dead-end road for added privacy. Blending versatility, thoughtful features, and a serene setting, this property offers comfortable mountain living with the added benefit of close proximity to town.
