Own more than 75 acres in the mountains of Western North Carolina without giving up convenient access to town. Located off Mauney Cove Road, this 75.62-acre tract rises from approximately 3,000 feet toward elevations near 4,000 feet, offering a remarkable combination of privacy, wooded mountain terrain and potential long-range views. Explore the property along existing old logging roads as they wind through the acreage and toward higher elevations. Previous timbering has opened portions of the property, and the mountainside has since grown back into a beautiful natural landscape. Along the upper elevations and ridge areas, selective clearing could reveal sweeping mountain and valley views. The size and character of the property create a wide range of possibilities: a secluded mountain estate, family compound, recreational, or potential subdivision and development opportunity. And despite the feeling of being tucked away in the mountains, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska and Maggie Valley are all conveniently nearby. 75.62 acres. Mountain ridges. Privacy. Views. And the freedom to create something special in the heart of Haywood County.

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.

Set behind private gates along an exceptional stretch of Lake Norman shoreline, this remarkable Cornelius estate was designed around one defining element: the water. Expansive long-range views unfold throughout the residence, while walls of glass, generous outdoor living spaces and a resort-inspired waterfront create an effortless connection to the lake. Inside, wide-plank white oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, custom millwork and a sophisticated mix of natural wood, stone and tailored finishes establish a refined yet inviting aesthetic. The great room opens to the lakeside terrace, while the chef’s kitchen is equally suited to everyday living and large-scale entertaining with an oversized island, Wolf 8-burner range with double ovens, scullery, wine room and a beautifully integrated Miele coffee bar. A dedicated planning center, custom drop zone and thoughtfully placed storage bring exceptional function to the design.

Its spa-inspired bath features separate vanities, a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized glass-enclosed shower with striking tilework, while generous closets and a washer and dryer within the primary closet create a truly self-contained retreat. A dramatic executive office wrapped in custom millwork provides a distinctive private workspace.

A second laundry area with washer and dryer adds convenience to the upper level. Outdoor living is equally considered. The covered lakeside lanai with fireplace and built-in grilling station transitions to the heated pool and spa, with low-maintenance artificial turf extending through the backyard and side yard. A private interior courtyard introduces an unexpected moment of tranquility within the home, complete with curated landscaping and a water feature. At the shoreline, a grandfathered approximately 150-foot pier leads to an upgraded floating dock equipped with lighting, water and 240V electrical service. From afternoons on the water to evenings framed by spectacular sunsets, the setting captures Lake Norman living at its finest. A breezeway connects to private secondary living quarters offering a kitchenette, full bath, balcony and flexible living space currently used as a fitness studio. An encapsulated crawl space adds another thoughtful element to the home’s construction and maintenance. With gated privacy, no HOA and a coveted Cornelius location, this is a waterfront residence where architecture, functionality and an extraordinary lake setting come together with uncommon distinction.

Creek music, forest solitude, and a furnished mountain home ready from day one this newly listed three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom retreat brings them together in one exceptionally private setting ABOVE 4000 ELEVATION . No neighboring home is visible from the residence, and conservation lands near the property, creating a peaceful backdrop with nearby trail access. A crystal-clear, spring-fed creek runs through the middle of the grounds, and its flowing water can be heard from the deck. Begin the morning there with coffee, linger over the woodland scenery, or simply let the creek handle the playlist. The private sauna offers an inviting place to warm up and unwind. Inside, the living room holds a delightful surprise for railroad enthusiasts: a train running along an elevated rail overhead. It is a playful conversation piece that gives this mountain hideaway a personality all its own. Furnishings are included, making the transition to full-time living, a vacation escape, or a personal mountain retreat refreshingly simple. When a change of pace calls, Mount Mitchell State Park places high-elevation trails, overlooks, and unforgettable scenery within reach. Ingles Markets in Burnsville keeps grocery runs and everyday essentials practical, so seclusion does not mean giving up convenience. Few homes pair total privacy, creekside ambiance, furnished comfort, and such memorable character. Schedule your private showing, experience the deck, and hear why this retreat feels worlds away.
