Transport yourself to a wooded North Carolina wonderland and be serenaded by the river’s tranquil song while visiting this idyllic Franklin home!

Peacefully nestled on a four-acre lot with nearly 500 feet of direct riverfront, enjoy easy access to swimming, rafting with the provided tubes, the river’s two-acre private island, and plenty of the best fishing holes the Cullasaja River has to offer. Try your luck with the rainbow trout, or head out to explore the area’s scenic waterfalls such as Dry Falls, Bridal Veil, & Sequoyah, a short drive away. You’ll also find Bartram Trail, Nantahala National Forest, Jackson Hole Gem Mining, Whiteside Mountain Trail, Lake Nantahala, and Smoky Mountain National Park all within about 30 miles of home.

When you’re not hiking, fishing, rafting, or basking in the scenic overlook views, come back to relax in the beautifully designed living area adorned with comfortable furnishings and stylish decor with rustic accents. Stream family movie night on the large smart TV or get cozy with a good book by the wood-burning fireplace. The inviting, full kitchen hosts modern appliances, gorgeous cabinetry, and ample storage space for effortless mealtimes. Even better, grill up the day’s fresh catch on the spacious deck while others leisurely float back on the river, conveniently arriving right at the front door! As the evening draws to a close, come together around the firepit to create lasting memories, share laughter, indulge in s’mores, and revel in the soothing river sounds just beyond your reach.
