5289 N Mills River Rd., Mills River, NC 28759

A hidden gem, completely surrounded by Pisgah National Forest, this fully-restored vintage farmhouse sits at the confluence of the North Fork of Mills River and Rocky Fork, one of the most beautiful sections of trout waters in Western North Carolina. The property includes a pond and dock, an open, level, grassy back lawn, and a meadow across the road. The farmhouse, built in the 30s, is fully modernized with an open, eat-in kitchen and electric appliances, including a high-efficiency heat pump. Wood paneling, hardwood floors, a stone fireplace and screened-in porch make this mountain retreat a cozy getaway any time of the year.
