House for sale in Franklin, NC — creekside exterior view
A creek of one's own.

Tucked into the folds of the Nantahala National Forest, this is a home on a unique waterfront setting that listens - to the creek that threads through the valley, to the wind moving through the hardwoods, to the slow rhythm of life off the National Scenic Byway.

Three bedrooms, two baths, and approximately twenty-five hundred square feet of comfortable, considered living space. This is the kind of place that invites you to stay a while - for the weekend, the season, or longer.

Wayah Road is one of the most beloved corridors in Western North Carolina — a quiet stretch of forest and water just minutes from downtown Franklin and a short drive from the Appalachian Trail and all that Western North Carolina offers.
