One-Level Modern Ranch with Pisgah Forest Access and Views
This smartly designed, one-level home—built in 2022—puts the mountains at your doorstep. From the covered 12x24 front porch, equipped with a plumbed gas grill, you’ll take in wide, layered views that reach toward the Blue Ridge Parkway. The exterior leads naturally into a bright, open plan where craftsmanship meets purposeful detail: Acacia hardwood floors run through the main living areas, nine-foot ceilings enhance the sense of space, and a vaulted living room anchors the layout with a striking stone fireplace.
The kitchen is practical and polished with robust wood cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances and a gas range sized for everyday cooking and entertaining. A split-bedroom arrangement preserves privacy for the primary suite, which delivers a generous walk-in closet with built-ins, double sinks, a tiled walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. The second full bath also features tile finishes and thoughtful fixtures.
An oversized 26x26 garage has been thoughtfully converted into a substantial family room—perfect for a media area, play space, or home gym—and it can be converted back to vehicle storage with relative ease. Outdoors, a covered back porch overlooks a fenced grassy yard ideal for pets. A 240-volt outlet beside the garage adds RV-ready convenience for owners who travel with larger rigs.
Beyond the lot, this home’s locale is a standout: the parcel directly backs to Pisgah National Forest and offers immediate access to Blue Ridge Parkway trails and ridge-line exploration. At the same time, downtown Waynesville’s restaurants, galleries, and services are only minutes away, making this residence an attractive blend of remote recreation and civic convenience. Furnishings are negotiable, and both vacation and short-term rentals are permitted—an important consideration for investors or those planning seasonal use.
