High Country Hideaway in the Plott Balsams

Rustic Charm is what comes to mind the moment you pull up to this comfortable and cozy 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home nestled in the private, gated community of Cranberry Falls. Set high in the Plott Balsam range above Maggie Valley, this is real mountain living, cool summers, fresh air, and the quiet that only comes with elevation. Inside, you'll find two master bedrooms with double closets, a handy computer niche, and a comfortable flow between the dining room, kitchen, and living room. The fireplace anchors the living space and makes those crisp mountain evenings something to look forward to. The features keep going outside. A detached 576-square-foot double-car garage and workshop give you room for vehicles, tools, and projects. Step out onto the open wood deck or settle into the screened porch to take in the surroundings and listen for the small mountain stream that runs along the property. Gated access keeps it all private. Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive from Waterrock Knob and some of the best high-country hiking in Western North Carolina, this home would make a wonderful year-round residence or a strong vacation rental. Maggie Valley's restaurants, shops, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are all within easy reach down the mountain. A piece of the Smokies, tucked away and waiting for you.
