Land with Home for Sale in Franklin, North Carolina

Step back in time and experience the charm of old Appalachian mountain living with this unique property spanning 10.97 acres across four lots. The 3BR/2BA cottage, built in 1945, is full of character and awaits restoration. The land itself tells a story-evoking the folklore of early Appalachian life with echoes of European settler traditions, Cherokee legends, and frontier homesteads. A classic metal-roof barn, tool shed, and a detached 1BR/1BA bunkhouse provide addt'l space for guests or potential in-law accommodations. Approx. 5 acres of the property are level and usable, while the remaining acreage has been thoughtfully utilized with private hiking/biking trails that wind through the landscape. The property also offers space for dog kennels, an old pond site, and a dry creek bed adding to the natural character. Located on Walnut Creek, a state-maintained paved road, you'll also enjoy the soothing sounds of a bold creek just across the road. Despite its peaceful and private setting-enhanced by land that rises over the ridge-the property is conveniently situated just 15 minutes from Franklin, Highlands and all of the Beauty of WNC.
