Some properties check boxes. This one stops you in your tracks. Sweeping valley and mountain views greet you every single day from this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home nestled on a +/- 2.73 unrestricted acres-with no HOA and room to truly breathe. Inside, the home has been refreshed from top to bottom: fresh interior and exterior paint, brand new LVP flooring, a new roof, and a private well. The main-level primary suite offers a walk-in closet and private bath, while abundant natural light pours through every window, keeping the surrounding landscape always in view. The updated kitchen features crisp white quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances-clean, bright, and move-in ready. Step outside onto the wrap-around porch and let the views do the talking. The property offers plenty of room for a detached shop or garage, a sprawling garden, or simply open space that's yours to use however you see fit. The unfinished daylight basement is a blank canvas-finish it your way and add meaningful square footage and value. Beyond the property line, the lifestyle only gets better. Near U.S. National Forest means endless trails, wildlife, and a level of privacy that simply can't be manufactured. World-class fly fishing on the Chattanooga River watershed and Warwoman Creek is minutes away, with waterfalls and hiking trails around every bend. All of this just 10 minutes from the boutique shops, fabulous restaurants, and tight-knit community of downtown Clayton- and only 30 minutes to Highlands, NC and a two hour drive from Atlanta. Schedule your showing today! Open House this Saturday from 10am-12pm.
