82 Zeb Brendle Road Tucked into the peaceful Alarka community, this mountain cottage offers the kind of long-range views people come to Bryson City searching for - a quiet valley framed by layered ridgelines and the feeling of being truly away from it all, yet still only minutes from town. Set on just over an acre, the property provides privacy, usable outdoor space, and the atmosphere of a genuine Smoky Mountain retreat. Inside, the layout is both comfortable and practical, with a bedroom and full bath on the main level and a finished lower level featuring a flexible bonus room and second full bathroom - perfect for guests, a home office, or additional sleeping space. The fenced upper yard adds convenience and peace of mind, whether for pets, entertaining, or simply enjoying time outside in the mountain air. Whether used as a full-time home, weekend escape, or income-producing mountain rental, the property easily adapts to your plans. With downtown Bryson City, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fontana Lake, Nantahala River rafting, and countless hiking trails just minutes away, this home offers the balance buyers hope to find: quiet mountain living with easy access to everything that makes the area special.
