4 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 4405125 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
760 Woody Lane crowns the ridge inside Laurel Ridge Country Club, and the view is the reason. From the top of the mountain the land falls away across all of Laurel Ridge and keeps going: layered blue ridgelines, the Great Smoky Mountains and Mt. Pisgah standing off in the distance, and the lights of Waynesville in the valley below. Long range, mountain, year round. This is the view buyers climb the ridge hoping to find, and here it follows you from room to room. The log home lives easy on one level. Two bedrooms and two baths in 1,816 square feet, with an open layout that keeps the ridgeline in front of you from the moment you walk in. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room and earns its keep on a cool mountain evening. Wood, tile and carpet floors, insulated windows and doors, central air and a heat pump, city water, and a full appliance package that stays. There is a one-car garage, so the everyday things have somewhere to go. Step out to the deck and you are in the room you will actually use, from cool-air mornings through the long golden hour when the ridgelines light up. A gazebo sits in the yard, and a fenced area gives dogs and grandchildren somewhere to be. A trail follows the ridgeline right out the back door, a walk along the crest of the mountain without leaving home. The second living quarters is what sets this property apart. A separate guest house of 968 square feet, with two bedrooms, two baths, a private entrance and the same long-range views as the main home, laid out as two distinct living spaces, each with its own kitchen. That is two kitchens in the guest house, and three across the property in all. Family who visit get their own front door, a studio or workshop or home office gets its own building, and with two full kitchens and separate entries the guest house reads as a ready income opportunity, whether you rent it or let it help carry the property. Together the two structures total 2,784 square feet, four bedrooms and four baths. All of it sits on 2.07 acres, two building lots combined into a single parcel. The lot next door is not a neighbor waiting to happen, it is already yours, and so is the privacy and the sightline that comes with it. Native rhododendron, mountain laurel and hardwoods screen the house without crowding the view. Both dwellings have propane power back-up generators. Laurel Ridge Country Club surrounds you: an 18-hole Bob Cupp designed golf course, clubhouse, fitness center, putting green, tennis and game courts, behind gate, on a paved road, with dues of only $50. The course and downtown Waynesville shops and dining are about five minutes down the mountain. The Blue Ridge Parkway is under ten. Asheville is thirty-five. High elevation mountain living, a stone hearth to come home to, a second home for guests already built, and a view that does not end.

Outdoor amenities include BBQ grills, picnic areas, and campfire gathering spaces, providing guests with opportunities to relax and enjoy the mountain setting. Offering approximately 3,296 total square feet across four separate cabins, with accommodations advertised for up to 23 guests, this property is well suited for groups of all sizes. The individual cabins provide privacy and flexibility while allowing larger groups to enjoy a shared mountain getaway. Previously operated as short-term vacation rentals, the property presents an opportunity for an investor to continue its hospitality use, subject to applicable requirements, or establish a private mountain compound for family and friends. Its location provides convenient access to the attractions of Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Valley, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the countless outdoor adventures that bring visitors to the region throughout the year. For buyers seeking an even larger mountain estate or hospitality opportunity, the adjoining 5.622-acre property, featuring a spacious four-bedroom log home with approximately 4,470 square feet and a three-car garage, is also being offered separately. Together, the two properties present the potential for a remarkable mountain retreat encompassing approximately 9.838 acres with five log residences. Four log cabins, more than four acres, beautiful mountain views, and an established vacation rental history make this a distinctive opportunity in the Western North Carolina mountains. Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio, operate a mountain hospitality business, or create a special gathering place for generations to enjoy, Deer Country Vacation Cabins offers the setting, versatility, and character to bring your vision to life!

Imagine stepping outside and actually walking to downtown Sylva. Coffee, dinner, breweries, shops and events are all just down the hill. The park is to your right, the Jackson County Public Library to your left, and you’re perched just above town with mountain views in the background. Built in 2023, this contemporary modern home offers more than 3,000 heated square feet across three levels, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The main level was made for gathering. An open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining and living spaces, with clean modern finishes, oversized windows and abundant natural light. Step outside onto the spacious deck overlooking downtown Sylva — the kind of spot made for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and watching the town come alive below you. Upstairs, the primary suite features generous closet space, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level adds something increasingly valuable: flexibility. With its own bedroom, full bath and living area, it can easily serve as private guest quarters, a studio-style suite, home office, or simply more room to spread out. And did we mention it comes furnished? With just a few personal exclusions, you can move right in and start enjoying it. Because the real luxury here might just be this: You can live in the mountains without having to drive 20 minutes down one to get anywhere. Park the car. Walk downtown. Grab coffee or dinner. Come home, head out to the deck, and take in the mountain and town views. This is downtown Sylva living.
