Single Family Detached Waynesville

760 Woody Lane crowns the ridge inside Laurel Ridge Country Club, and the view is the reason. From the top of the mountain the land falls away across all of Laurel Ridge and keeps going: layered blue ridgelines, the Great Smoky Mountains and Mt. Pisgah standing off in the distance, and the lights of Waynesville in the valley below. Long range, mountain, year round. This is the view buyers climb the ridge hoping to find, and here it follows you from room to room.

The log home lives easy on one level. Two bedrooms and two baths in 1,816 square feet, with an open layout that keeps the ridgeline in front of you from the moment you walk in. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room and earns its keep on a cool mountain evening. Wood, tile and carpet floors, insulated windows and doors, central air and a heat pump, city water, and a full appliance package that stays. There is a one-car garage, so the everyday things have somewhere to go. Step out to the deck and you are in the room you will actually use, from cool-air mornings through the long golden hour when the ridgelines light up. A gazebo sits in the yard, and a fenced area gives dogs and grandchildren somewhere to be. A trail follows the ridgeline right out the back door, a walk along the crest of the mountain without leaving home.

The second living quarters is what sets this property apart. A separate guest house of 968 square feet, with two bedrooms, two baths, a private entrance and the same long-range views as the main home, laid out as two distinct living spaces, each with its own kitchen. That is two kitchens in the guest house, and three across the property in all. Family who visit get their own front door, a studio or workshop or home office gets its own building, and with two full kitchens and separate entries the guest house reads as a ready income opportunity, whether you rent it or let it help carry the property. Together the two structures total 2,784 square feet, four bedrooms and four baths.

All of it sits on 2.07 acres, two building lots combined into a single parcel. The lot next door is not a neighbor waiting to happen, it is already yours, and so is the privacy and the sightline that comes with it. Native rhododendron, mountain laurel and hardwoods screen the house without crowding the view. Both dwellings have propane power back-up generators.

Laurel Ridge Country Club surrounds you: an 18-hole Bob Cupp designed golf course, clubhouse, fitness center, putting green, tennis and game courts, behind gate, on a paved road, with dues of only $50. The course and downtown Waynesville shops and dining are about five minutes down the mountain. The Blue Ridge Parkway is under ten. Asheville is thirty-five. High elevation mountain living, a stone hearth to come home to, a second home for guests already built, and a view that does not end.
