About this home

Back on the market and seller is motivated!!! Rare and riverfront. This unique mountain property has about 1000 feet (+/-) of river frontage. Two decks (one covered, one not) overlooking rushing whitewater river wide; some spots good enough to surf a kayak! Head upstream for more peaceful water if your looking to fish. Covered front and back porches for chilling. You can also watch the Polar Express go by as it heads for the North Pole! Tons of windows and natural light, open floor plan. THIS PROPERTY IS ONE OF A KIND IN ALL OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, and conveniently located to all of the attractions around the Great Smoky Mountains. Its about an hour west of Asheville. The access is super easy, no 4 wheel drive here! :-) Newer appliances, fresh paint, new flooring remodeled bathrooms and kitchen! This would make a great rental and there are no restrictions that would prohibit rentals, no HOA either. Being sold furnished!!
