***SELLERS ARE OFFERING A $5,000 CREDIT at closing for you to do as you wish****Ten and a half unrestricted acres in the Western North Carolina mountains, a three-stall horse barn, a creek threading through the lower pasture, and a gravel road that puts real distance between you and everything else. Properties like this don't reassemble themselves once they're gone.The 1,924-square-foot log cabin-style home sits on the land with the kind of presence that only comes from mature timber construction and a setting that does most of the visual work. Meadow and mountain views stretch out from the property, and the creek on the lower portion adds both sound and utility to land that's already working hard on its own. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full basement, and ceilings that open the interior up - the bones here are solid, and the sellers are pricing the property honestly as a fixer, with a $10,000 credit at closing so the next owner can direct those funds exactly where they're needed most. The kitchen has already seen upgrades - new appliances, generous counter space, and storage that handles the practical demands of rural living. The rest of the home is ready for someone with a clear vision and the willingness to bring it forward. That's a different kind of buyer than most, and this is a different kind of property than most. The barn adds a dimension that's increasingly hard to find at any price point in this region. Three stalls, unrestricted acreage, and the kind of open land that supports horses, livestock, a large garden operation, or simply the freedom to use the ground without asking anyone's permission. No HOA. No covenants rewriting what you can do with your own land.The location rewards patience on the drive in and pays back every minute of it once you arrive. Downtown Waynesville is 27 minutes out, Asheville roughly 45 - close enough that the mountain town conveniences, restaurants, and healthcare infrastructure remain genuinely accessible, far enough that the property itself operates in an entirely different register. Quiet in a way that you either know you want or you don't. The 2-car garage handles equipment, vehicles, and overflow storage. The basement extends the potential usable footprint beyond what the main floor square footage suggests. Built in 1984, this is a property with decades of character already accumulated and years of potential still ahead.
