Enjoy easy conversation between the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Sit around the wood burning fireplace as you look out the wall of windows at the miles of mountain layers and stunning sunsets.This home has 4 decks to enjoy the views.There is quality built into the home with granite kitchen countertops, wood flooring, tiled bathrooms, and white wooden cathedral ceilings. Another great feature of this home is its storage spaces.One is under the home, and there is an entire room off of the lower level deck that has its own entrance.For those who may need privacy working from home, it would make a great office because of its private entrance and view of the mountains.The pictures speak for themselves!

    "I have lived much of my life on the Tennessee and NC side of the Smokies. Qualla is the best place to live. You will be very close to Cherokee, Sylva, and Bryson City. The National Park is about 15 minutes away. In Qualla, you do not feel surrounded by the commercialism of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. It is quiet and peaceful. Access to the major highways is easy during snow; in 11 years we never got snowed in. Smoky Mountain Elementary is a wonderful school. Golf is now available with Sequoyah National Golf Club just minutes away. It is the best of the Smokies."
