Reflecting the grandeur of the surrounding mountains, 202 Emerald Lane lies “hidden in plain sight”. Unlike other area luxury homes, easily access your retreat from a publicly-maintained road at an elevation that balances the best of all four seasons. Spontaneously enjoy shopping, dining, hiking (11 mins to the Blue Ridge Parkway), biking, fishing, skiing (10 mins to Cataloochee), and Harrah’s Cherokee Casino (15 miles). Asheville is an easy drive. Maggie Valley and Waynesville beckon with nostalgia, returning you to a simpler time of unspoiled forests and crystal streams. Enveloped in mountain views, your sanctuary delivers casual main level living for two, then effortlessly scales up for a few or numerous guests. The guest house offers a dramatic retreat within a retreat. Beyond a private sanctuary, consider this gem for a wedding/event venue, luxury vacation rental, or even a spiritual refuge. Included is .818 acres (PIN 3629) with 2 BR septic and dedicated well.
