This property has nearly 32 gorgeous acres, but the acreage alone isn’t what makes it special. It’s a place that already feels alive with farm life: horses grazing in the pastures, sheep, chickens, livestock guardian dogs, emus, and peafowl, with fruit trees, a walnut grove, several creeks winding through the land, and a tucked-away glamping site reached by footbridge. A tobacco barn, established pens, fencing, and separate animal areas make it possible to step into a rural lifestyle that is already well underway. Beyond the established farm areas, there’s plenty of room for the next owner to make the property their own. A separately fenced area along Turkey Creek has its own road access and has even been considered for uses such as a private dog exercise area or SniffSpot. Higher on the property, the sellers have identified several areas they considered for potential future homesites, including along the logging road and above the glamping site, subject to buyer verification of septic suitability, access, permitting, and other requirements. Old 209 runs through the back of the property near these upper areas. The mix of open ground, woods, creeks, mountain views, and tucked-away spaces gives the property a sense of discovery that’s hard to capture in photos alone. And then there’s Fines Creek itself. This is a rural mountain community with a strong sense of connection and an active local life of its own. Ferguson Supply is about 5 minutes away for a quick meal or local stop, Waynesville is about 20 minutes away, and Asheville is about 40 minutes away. The Fines Creek Community Center offers activities, classes, gatherings, a gym, and a walking loop. The sellers were especially grateful that their immediate area was comparatively lightly impacted by Hurricane Helene and came away from the experience with an even greater appreciation for the way the community showed up for one another. The home sits comfortably within all of this rather than feeling separate from it, offering an easy place to land at the end of the day while keeping the farm, animals, creeks, and mountains right outside the door. Whether the dream is horses, homesteading, glamping, gardening, recreation, creating space for dogs, or simply having enough land to build a quieter life with some breathing room, 1102 Price Town Road offers both the infrastructure to begin and the flexibility to keep imagining what comes next.

There are creekside properties and then there are places where the creek becomes part of the experience of the home. Welcome to 16 Wits End Way, a charming mountain cabin set directly along Hemphill Creek, where the rushing water provides an incredible natural soundtrack from morning to night. This is an especially lively stretch of Hemphill Creek, with the unmistakable sound of roaring mountain water that can be enjoyed from the porch and outdoor sitting areas and even from inside the cabin when the windows are open. Steps lead down toward the creek to a dedicated viewing deck, creating a wonderful place to sit, unwind and experience the water up close. And while the creek is one of the property's defining features, the home sits comfortably above it. The property is located outside both the 100-year and 500-year floodplains and is in Zone One. The home was not affected by flooding during Hurricane Helene. The cabin itself is filled with character and has benefited from numerous updates. The interior has been remodeled, the flooring has been redone, and a recently upgraded metal roof adds another important improvement. Outside, multiple sitting areas invite you to enjoy the wooded mountain setting, while the fire pit offers a natural gathering place for cool Western North Carolina evenings, all accompanied by the sound of Hemphill Creek nearby. One distinctive characteristic of the cabin is its ceiling height, which varies throughout the home and is approximately 6'10" in many areas. Under Canopy MLS heated living area (HLA) reporting standards and the North Carolina Real Estate Commission’s Residential Square Footage Guidelines, finished living area generally must have a ceiling height of at least 7 feet to qualify as HLA, subject to limited exceptions for certain beams, ducts, and sloped-ceiling areas. Because many of the cabin’s ceilings are below the 7-foot standard, those portions of the finished interior do not qualify for inclusion in the reported heated living area. Buyers are encouraged to review the measurements and square-footage information carefully for the distinction between reported HLA and other finished space. Updated yet wonderfully rustic, this is a property that is difficult to capture in photographs alone. It's about sitting outside by the fire, walking down to the creek deck, opening the windows and hearing rushing water fill the cabin. For buyers looking for an authentic Waynesville mountain retreat with the sights and sounds of Hemphill Creek right outside the door, 16 Wits End Way offers a setting that truly stands apart.
