About this House

Set back in the woods off Pope Road, 173 Pope Road is a one-bedroom, one-bath cabin with plenty of character. A gravel drive winds through the trees to the elevated home, where a wraparound covered deck and a broad front deck create easy indoor-outdoor living right from the entry. Inside, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings run through the open living room and kitchen, giving the whole space a warm, cabin-in-the-woods feel. The kitchen offers wood cabinetry and plenty of counter space, while glass French doors lead out to the covered deck for morning coffee or evening unwinding among the trees. The bedroom and bath are tucked at the back of the home for privacy, keeping the layout simple and low-maintenance. Beyond the cabin, the wooded lot includes a storage shed, a fenced garden area, and a fire pit gathering area with seating, along with a few additional outbuildings offering extra storage or hobby space. It is a private, tucked-away retreat in the woods of Franklin, with the neighboring home at 82 Pope Road also available for sale for those looking to make it a family compound.

    "Most events held in Franklin NC are old-fashioned and geared towards the elderly age group. Up to date technology is not widely used and internet is rarely available here. There is very little to do in Franklin for the 18 - 45 year old age range, unless you like to hike. Easy trip to make a Asheville though for fun. "
