583 Dark Ridge Road This rare property has not been on the market for almost 20 years! No restrictions, STR allowed. Absolutely NO damage from Helene. Adjoining parcel is also for sale (MLS#4394697) and provides an existing RV spot for travel trailers and RVs, even more level, cleared spots, and additional creek frontage. Additional 3.85 acre lot (MLS #4394738) across the street is also for sale. Experience the soothing sound of rushing water from this peaceful mountain retreat on 1.18 acres with direct access to a bold, year-round creek that is stocked with trout. The moment you arrive, the setting feels private and restorative, with the creek's sounds carrying across the property and into the home. This is a place where nature takes center stage, offering a rare blend of usable land, wooded privacy, and the kind of creek frontage buyers dream of. The home offers a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bath layout designed for easy living, whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment opportunity. The main living area is warm and inviting, with natural light filtering in, and rustic logs supporting the ceiling and framing the walls. The kitchen is simple and functional, providing everything needed for everyday use. Step outside onto the spacious deck and take in the sweeping view of the acreage below. The deck overlooks a large cleared area that gently slopes toward the creek, creating a beautiful outdoor space for gardening, play, pets, or simply relaxing to the sound of moving water. Additional cleared, level areas offer flexibility for future outdoor living spaces, fire pits, or recreational use. Plenty of space for a large garden. The remaining wooded portions of the property add privacy, shade, and the natural character that makes mountain living so appealing. Gently sloping, wide pathways have been thoughtfully carved into the landscape, leading to the centerpiece of the property: the creek. Whether you prefer to fish for trout, sit by the water's edge, explore the banks, or simply listen from the deck, the creek provides a constant connection to nature that is both calming and energizing. Properties with this level of creek presence are increasingly rare, especially with usable land and easy access. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with the primary suite offering its own bath for added convenience. The second bedroom and separate bath provide flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies. Both bedrooms feature large walk-in closets. The attached garage/workspace can be converted to a third bedroom, workshop, art studio, storage or park the car. Weatherproof 220V outlet on exterior wall. An additional unfinished basement with 7' headroom located on the back of the house has room for the John Deere mower that comes with the house. The home's layout is efficient and easy to maintain, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time on upkeep, thanks to the luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Located just 10.5 miles from Walmart, 11-12 miles from downtown Sylva restaurants and shops, and close to hiking and water sports. Owner is a licensed Realtor in Florida.
