Property details

About 4989 W Buffalo Rd

With 300ft of creek frontage and tucked into a tranquil mountain cove, this 2-story cabin offers an idyllic setting for anyone looking to settle into the mountain life. Fronted on two sides by West Buffalo Creek, this property blends rustic charm with practical living. The spacious yard, 2 large storage buildings, and large decks overlooking the water make this home perfectly suited for daily life or a vacation getaway to the peaceful mountains. Only a few short miles from the Cherohala Skyway, Joyce Kilmer, Lake Santeetlah, and the town of Robbinsville, this location places you near some of the best local attractions while keeping you far enough away to experience nature at its best. The first-floor master suite offers a beautiful claw-foot jetted tub, a separate outdoor deck, and an extra-large window overlooking the creek just outside. The first floor also offers a spacious guestroom with its own full bath that also features a jetted tub. The upstairs offers one large bedroom and one smaller bedroom, both sharing a full bath. There is plenty of space for the entire family and even a home-office. The home comes with two gorgeous decks, one boasting a hot tub with a prime view of the creek - perfect for unwinding after a long day. Spanning 1.6 acres, the land gives you room to breathe, garden, or create your own outdoor oasis. Two exterior storage buildings, both powered, provide extra space, with one large enough to store an ATV and featuring an additional deck that's great for casual evenings with neighbors or quiet reflection. A firepit area nearby sets the stage for cozy nights under the stars, a staple of mountain living. There is even a small chicken coop if you'd like to start your own homestead! This property has everything the Smoky Mountains could offer - stunning scenery, fresh air, and a slower pace of life. No other residence can be seen from the property, making it truly private. It has even proven itself as a part-time bed-and-breakfast or AirBNB in the past, a testament to its appeal and functionality. Whether you are ready to make this your forever home or a mountain getaway, it's a rare chance to live fully immersed in nature. Seller is assisting any potential buyer by getting ahead of DD. There is a recently completed survey, a full septic inspection, and a termite inspection (plus one year of termite service). In addition, seller recently refurbished much of the house, including new tile, new first floor HWH, regrouting of all tile, replacement of wood base in living areas, and re-staining sheds, among many other recent upgrades.
