This custom built home checks all the boxes- long range views, seclusion, a workshop/garage, an equipment garage, a meadow/garden space, with room to add or expand on 18 acres. The master bedroom, 2nd bedroom, bath and laundry are on the main floor, with an open and inviting great room, dining area, and kitchen. Quartz counter-tops grace a spacious kitchen w an island space and plenty of room for cooking and entertaining. The bulk of the main floor enjoys natural daylight and sees the same view as the huge covered deck. The attached downstairs garage is temperature controlled, for cold mornings and year round projects. At the bottom of the mountain there is a large meadow, and tractor garage. The paved drive to the top passes several areas where one could develop pads for other buildings or homes, and a creek runs down one edge of the property. This location is off Hwy 28 and centrally located between the greater shopping options in Franklin, and outdoor activities up in Bryson City.
