Escape to the quiet of rural Bryson City with this custom-built home set on nearly two private, sunlit acres. Reached by a gravel road, this property offers 3,000 square feet of crafted living space filled with unique character and regional history.
The main level is designed for everyday comfort and effortless gathering. In the kitchen, you’ll find custom cabinetry and a dedicated coffee bar—perfect for brewing your morning cup before stepping out onto the 500+ square foot covered porch to listen to the gentle stream across the road. The family room features custom wormy chestnut cabinetry built to showcase your favorite photos and keepsakes. The great room is set over rich reclaimed wood floors sourced from an old South Carolina cotton mill. A spiral staircase leads to a cozy loft space, currently set up with three twin beds for hosting overnight guests. Throughout the home, custom architectural touches stand out, including a historic 30-foot door frame salvaged from a local schoolhouse and carefully recut to anchor the main living area.
The versatile layout also includes a fully equipped second living quarters, making it ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or flexible multi-generational living. Complete with an oversized four-car garage and plenty of room to stretch out, this is a truly one-of-a-kind mountain retreat.
If you are looking for hiking destinations, the home is approximately 1 mile from trails into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Roughly 65% of Swain County is Great Smoky Mountain National Park so you can also drive to areas in the park to explore
