This versatile property offers the perfect blend of country living and the convenience of Spectrum Internet and Cable... set in the scenic Rabbitskin area of Jonathan Valley. With a thoughtfully updated home, multiple outbuildings, barns and workshops, and usable pasture acreage, it’s ideal for those seeking a working mini-farm, creative retreat, or simply a peaceful lifestyle in the Smoky Mountain foothills. It has been a working artist's studio in the past. The Home: Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a bright, sunny, open great room featuring a massive stone fireplace with hearth seating. The updated kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area. The main-level bedroom offers vaulted ceilings and a bay window, complemented by a full and half bath on this level. A glass-enclosed sunroom with soaring vaulted windows opens to an expansive deck—perfect for entertaining or enjoying the tranquil views. Downstairs, a private primary suite includes a spa-like ensuite with double sinks, a large tiled shower, separate water closet, walk-in closet, and patio access with hot tub hookup. The lower level also features a second "canning kitchen", hobby/workshop space, and a large multi-purpose room ideal for a playroom, bunk space, or guest accommodations. The Land & Outbuildings * Historic barn with 2 horse stalls, hay storage, run-in shed, and chicken coop with fenced yard. * Greenhouse for getting an early start in the garden. * Large garage workshop with concrete floors, rafter storage, and attached tractor sheds * Light-filled art studio near the home—perfect for creative pursuits. * Additional structures include a carport, firewood shed, and second workshop area * Fenced garden with raised beds. * Pasture for horses or other livestock. * 30 amp electric hook up for an RV. * Two separate parcels of land allows for flexibility. * A small pond and bold creek along the property add to the natural beauty and "sound effects". * Covered front porch is an ideal resting spot, where you can hear the creek. * Large open deck with space for dining and a seating area. The Setting: Originally dating back to the 1930s log cabin core, with major expansions in the 1960s, and updates in the last decade - this home blends history with modern improvements. The gently rolling acreage has been home to horses, with potential to clear more pasture if desired. The setting is serene yet convenient—just minutes to Waynesville, Asheville, and the Great Smoky Mountains at Cataloochee. This property has not been rented but could be a vacation rental Air BnB. Amenities: * Spectrum INTERNET and cable is available at the carport area * Heat Pump with propane gas back up system for heat and air conditioning. * Metal Roof * Three drilled wells (with only one in use) and a modern 2 bedroom septic system. * Electric Range upstairs and a propane range is down in the canning kitchen.
