A small mountain farm above Burnette Cove. A 2024 home, a barn, and open pasture south facing on ~1.1 acres, with the ridgelines stacked up in front of you. Burnette Cove is the kind of place people go looking for and rarely find on the market. A handful of houses on a quiet road, pasture and hardwood, and the Hilltop house is a true slice of NC mountain living. The house is practically new. The barn sits in the pasture below the house, room for a couple of animals, hay, or equipment, and it is what you will be looking at from the front porch. Inside this 3/2 single level “Hilltop” home above Canton, the kitchen, dining and living run together as one room around a big island, with a fireplace and built-ins at the far end. The primary suite takes its own end of the house: walk-in closet, double vanity, glass walk-in shower in this large bathroom. Two more bedrooms, a full bath with a tub and a real laundry room at the other end. Luxury vinyl plank floors, crown molding, heat pump and central air, all on one level. Canton and Waynesville are both a short drive for groceries, the hospital, dinner out. Head the other direction, up the East Fork valley, and US 276 carries you into Pisgah National Forest, the Big East Fork trailhead, waterfalls and on up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. No HOA. No city taxes. Starlink installed with Spectrum fiber announced. This open design off-frame modular is on a permanent foundation that finances like any site built home. Seller will contribute $9,000 toward closing costs or a rate buydown with a full price offer. Acreage approximate and subject to final survey and recorded plat prior to closing.

Once settled in, you'll enter straight into an expansive great room with soaring cathedral ceilings covered in locally sourced tongue and groove pine. The open floorpan is as welcoming as the sight of the wood burning fireplace is warming. This room is where slow mornings simmer and the good life happens. With your kitchen, dining and living area bathed in natural light and surrounded on three sides by covered decks, green spaces and verdant forests it's hard to tell where the indoors stop and the outdoors begin.

With soaring cathedral tongue and groove ceilings, a private Juliet deck, large walk-in closet and stylish bathroom, you'll never want to leave. Finishing out the square footage, the lower level of the house features a massive den with another fireplace, full bathroom and direct access to the covered natural stone patio with fire pit and included hot tub! There’s also a bonus storage space downstairs which could easily be converted into a safe room, an oversized laundry room and a dedicated mechanical room with easy access to all the home’s mechanical systems. Built by trusted local hands in 2013, this stick-built, log-style cabin has all the things a seasoned contractor would put into their own house.
