About this House

Tucked away at the very end of the road, where the noise drops off and the woods take over, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home sits right in the heart of 1.57 acres of lush, private woodland—unrestricted and truly your own. Follow the sound of the water and you'll find one of the property's best features: a beautiful, bubbling, rocky-bottom creek that feels like your own hidden retreat. Whether it's morning coffee or winding down in the evening, that setting alone is hard to come by. The two-sided wrap-around porch stretches out like an extension of the home, giving you that “treehouse in the woods” feel—elevated, peaceful, and completely surrounded by nature. Inside, the main level offers a comfortable flow with a spacious living room, dining area, kitchen, full bath, laundry, and primary bedroom—all designed for easy living. Downstairs, you'll find two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy family room that opens out to an additional patio—perfect for giving guests their own space or creating a second living area. What really sets this property apart is the freedom and self-sufficiency: unrestricted land means no HOA and no limitations on how you use your property, and the private well adds another layer of independence that buyers are increasingly looking for. Private. Peaceful. Creek front. Unrestricted. End-of-the-road seclusion. All of it wrapped into one hard-to-find package just north of Blue Ridge and west of Murphy—close enough to everything you need, but far enough away to feel like you've truly gotten away.

    "vehicle is a must have commodity to get around when you live out of the town city limits. Unless you like to walk or ride a bike. They're are few other drawbacks as well. Communicating by cell phone is not very good around the countryside, lacking cell towers. This is a problem, even trying to get on the internet. Somedays are better than others but still we have poor reception. Other than that we have the beautiful outdoors. We can enjoy going to the national forest for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or just driving around the back roads and enjoy scenery as well as wildlife. Living outside the city's limit might have it's drawbacks but you take the good and the bad as it comes and make the best of it."

    "Murphy, NC is a small community with all the basics (yes, including Walmart). There is a lot to do or you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Winters are NOT harsh, however, you will need warm clothing. You can enjoy the wildlife from your back deck or walk the many trails throughout the county. Although Murphy will have a Casino come the Summer of 2015; it will have little impact on the quality of life."
