Peaceful 5 acres with creek! Central to WNC!

This updated cozy cottage sits on 5 magical acres with a creek, tucked away in a private cove, yet is centrally located to all the best of Western NC. You'll love sitting on the spacious deck, enjoying the firepit or exploring the woods. This nook of the woods feels far away from everything, but is just 3 minutes to Dillsboro, 9 minutes from Sylva main street, 20 to Cullowhee. These towns have excellent restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and unique stores. *high clearance vehicle recommended
