This is a home where the creek at the edge of the lot provides the defining soundtrack: steady, calming, and unmistakably mountain. Sited on a nearly one-acre parcel in Horseshoe Cove, 650 Creekside Drive delivers creekside views from the front yard and generous outdoor privacy—a rare combination close to Maggie Valley Country Club (0.5 miles).
Step inside to a vaulted main living area punctuated by large gable windows and cathedral ceilings that make the living, dining, and kitchen feel open yet intimate. The living room centers on a stone fireplace with gas logs, a warm focal point for cool evenings. The kitchen and dining zone flow visually from the living area, and skylights in the primary suite amplify the sense of airiness. The primary bedroom itself is a standout: cathedral ceilings, its own gas fireplace, and abundant natural light from gable windows and skylights create a private retreat.
Downstairs, a finished basement with a separate entrance expands the home’s utility—perfect as a guest suite, extended-family space, or income-producing rental. The property was built in 1996, shows in good condition, and has practical systems for mountain living: heat pump + propane heating, municipal water and sewer, and Duke Energy electric service. Exterior construction is vinyl siding with a shingle roof, and parking includes a 1-car attached garage plus driveway spaces.
Beyond the house, the lot and an included additional buildable parcel present development or expansion possibilities (buyers should verify restrictions). Outdoor recreation is immediate: golf and dining at Maggie Valley Country Club, Blue Ridge Parkway drives and overlooks about 5 miles away, Cataloochee Ski Area roughly 8 miles, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park within about 15 miles—making this a true year-round retreat. Note the creekside location also means flood-zone verification and possible insurance requirements are recommended.
Recent comparable sales in Horseshoe Cove and nearby streets support a market value range between $410,000 and $455,000; the property’s finished lower level and creekside setting strengthen both lifestyle and rental appeal. With good bones, thoughtful interior features, and strong proximity to regional recreation, 650 Creekside Drive is well suited for buyers seeking a primary mountain home, a vacation base, or an investment with immediate short-term rental potential. Schedule a tour and bring your inspector—this property invites careful consideration of its creekside benefits and responsibilities.

Local market conditions around Maggie Valley are best characterized as balanced with a modest tilt toward seller-friendly dynamics for homes with distinctive features. Inventory sits at approximately 3.5 months—near the traditional equilibrium range—while average days on market are about 60 days. Median sale price in the area is roughly $445,000; year-over-year appreciation is near 5%, with a five-year appreciation of about 25%. Recent closed comparables within 0.5 miles (sales at $445,000, $411,500 and $401,000) show active demand for 3BR/3BA homes in Horseshoe Cove and underscore buyer willingness to pay premiums for creekside orientation, finished lower levels, and mountain views.
Single-family homes with outdoor amenities and proximity to recreational anchors (golf course, Blue Ridge Parkway, ski area, national park) typically move faster than average and hold value well in this corridor. For investors, local rental comps and the platform-backed short-term market suggest an estimated monthly rent near $2,500 and a rent-per-square-foot around $1.15; the finished basement with separate entry improves rental flexibility. Because creekside properties can carry flood risk, buyers should verify flood-zone status and insurance costs—those factors materially affect carrying costs and buyer pool. Overall, this is a reasonable time to list or buy a differentiated mountain property here: stable inventory, steady appreciation, and strong leisure demand combine to make quality listings sell competitively.
