    About this House

    Ideal location for anyone desiring a private and secluded domain! This is one of the most intriguing 12.5+/- acres that I've ever seen. The seller originally purchased the property simply to ride her horses. The land has remained unchanged since that purchase. Decades ago, the Mead Paper Company owned this property and had installed a bridge over Ruff Butte Creek. Hurricane Ivan in visited NC in 2004,the elderly bridge was heavily damaged and was removed completely. Currently, the access to the property means a short walk across and through Ruff Butte Creek. Your shoes will get wet!!!! Have your Buyer's Agent call me and I will give specific directions to the crossing point and the location for the deeded Right of Way. Depending upon any new owner's plans for the property, a new bridge is more than likely to be necessary. There is a F.S. road on the property and several dirt roads used by Mead when they owned the property. . This property is BEAUTIFUL and feels untouched! There are many areas with flattish potential house sites, visible views of Ruff Butte Creek and definitely the awesome sound of the creek. Many species of native plants thrive on this property, there's a great diversity of trees and wildlife love this area. If you are looking for quiet and seclusion; this property is worth every drop of getting your feet wet to look at it!!! Schedule an appointment with your Buyer's Agent soon to visit the property.

      "There are several choices of schools here. There are active after school choices such as those at local churches and the Boys and Girls Club. There’s a good library and a nice recreation center. Community events are family friendly. It gets very cold here in winter which can result in delayed school openings."

      "Lots of student drivers and cars. They are sometimes reckless and can be dangerous to pets if they are not leashes or watched properly. However, Cullowhee is a beautiful region offering lots of hiking trails , beautiful scenery, and has plenty of room to run for our furry friends! There are also parks and outdoor restaurants that dogs are allowed to visit, but overall Cullowhee is a wonderful place to have dogs. Plus it is full of mountain scenery to see not only wonderful views of the mountain beauty, but of those beautiful pets as well! Cullowhee is most definitely a dog friendly place!"

      "I have lived in the house as a renter. It is a wonderful space. The best place I have ever lived. There is a fire pit next to the creek in front of the property and the neighbors are very nice. The location is very quiet and private. there are only three other houses on the street and this one is at the very end of Timber Wolf Trail with no possibility of a house ever going up on the other side."
