There is a particular kind of freedom in a home that asks nothing of you. 16A Willow View Drive sits inside a gated community just minutes to downtown Franklin, and everything about it is built for the part of life where the mountains are enjoyed rather than maintained. One story, no stairs anywhere and a whole community to enjoy the outdoors.

The living room runs the length of the home and opens to a screened porch that faces out toward the ridges. In winter, the mountains show through clearly. In summer the porch stays shaded and cool, and it becomes the place where coffee happens in the morning and where the evening slows down. The split bedroom plan gives the primary suite its own side of the house with a walk-in closet, which matters when your favorite guests show up.

The kitchen sits open to the living space, laundry is on the main level, and the attached garage puts you inside without ever standing in the rain.

What sets this one apart is what you will never have to do. You'll start with newly installed flooring and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. In the past two years, the roof and the HVAC system have been replaced. The POA takes care of the lawn, the grounds, the exterior of the home, and the parking area. Community water and public sewer mean no well and no septic. You can lock the door in October, spend two months elsewhere, and come back to a place that looks exactly the way you left it. The clubhouse, tennis courts, and walking trails are there when you want them.

Set at the end of a paved mountain road on 8.72 private acres, this 4,262 square foot log home offers sweeping mountain views of the gorge and valley below including the beginnings of Fontana Lake, river frontage, and community water access where the river meets Fontana Lake. The living room is anchored by a massive stone fireplace with uniform ledge stone carried across the adjoining walls. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood and ceramic tile floors, and an open floor plan connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A sunroom off the main level takes in the light and the view.

Main level living is fully workable here, with two bedrooms, each with private access to the covered porch, plus a breakfast bar, pantry, and laundry all on the main floor. Three bedrooms and three full baths spread across a plan built for company. The loft overlooks the living area. The full finished basement adds a rec and game room, a full bath, exercise and theatre space, a w**e nook, and generous storage, with both interior and exterior entry.

Bryson City sits minutes away, a true gateway town to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad downtown, Deep Creek waterfalls and tubing just north, the Nantahala Gorge and its whitewater to the west, and Tsali's nationally known mountain bike trails on the Fontana peninsula. The fishing here is exceptional, between the Tuckasegee, the Nantahala, the park's backcountry streams, and Fontana Lake itself.

Homes of this size, on this much private acreage, with water frontage and this level of mechanical investment, do not come along often in Swain County.

760 Woody Lane crowns the ridge inside Laurel Ridge Country Club, and the view is the reason. From the top of the mountain the land falls away across all of Laurel Ridge and keeps going: layered blue ridgelines, the Great Smoky Mountains and Mt. Pisgah standing off in the distance, and the lights of Waynesville in the valley below. Long range, mountain, year round. This is the view buyers climb the ridge hoping to find, and here it follows you from room to room.

The log home lives easy on one level. Two bedrooms and two baths in 1,816 square feet, with an open layout that keeps the ridgeline in front of you from the moment you walk in. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room and earns its keep on a cool mountain evening. Wood, tile and carpet floors, insulated windows and doors, central air and a heat pump, city water, and a full appliance package that stays. There is a one-car garage, so the everyday things have somewhere to go. Step out to the deck and you are in the room you will actually use, from cool-air mornings through the long golden hour when the ridgelines light up.

A gazebo sits in the yard, and a fenced area gives dogs and grandchildren somewhere to be. A trail follows the ridgeline right out the back door, a walk along the crest of the mountain without leaving home.

The second living quarters are what set this property apart. A separate guest house of 968 square feet, with two bedrooms, two baths, a private entrance, and the same long-range views as the main home, laid out as two distinct living spaces, each with its own kitchen. That is two kitchens in the guest house, and three across the property in all. Family who visit get their own front door, a studio or workshop or home office gets its own building, and with two full kitchens and separate entries, the guest house reads as a ready income opportunity, whether you rent it or let it help carry the property.

Built with care by its original owner, this custom-designed home brings together quality craftsmanship and an unbeatable in-town location. Set on a generous lot, a rare find within Sylva's city limits, the property offers the best of both worlds: the space and privacy of a larger lot, plus the convenience of city living.

Step inside and you'll notice the details right away: warm hardwood floors underfoot, a striking tongue-and-groove ceiling overhead, a kitchen full of custom cabinetry and other thoughtful custom touches like built-in bookcases, the kind of details that only come from a home designed and built by its owner. The main floor bath offers a peaceful retreat with a soaking tub, supplied by a propane on-demand water heater, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A durable propane cast iron furnace keeps things comfortable and efficient through the winter months, while double French doors open onto the front deck, inviting in natural light and creating an easy flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation.

Location is everything here. Mark Watson Park, the public library, and downtown Sylva's shops, breweries, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Located in the Plott Balsam Mountains of Jackson County, Sylva offers small-town charm with everything you need close at hand. This is a home built to last, in a location that's hard to beat.
