Rifugio A Dowdle Mountain

10.47 Acres | Long-Range Wayah Bald Views | Just 5 Minutes to Downtown Franklin

A rare opportunity to own more than 10 acres of mountain property with sweeping long-range views, exceptional privacy, and remarkable convenience to downtown Franklin. Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, family compound, investment property, or a place to explore future additional dwellings or guest accommodations, this property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. A charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home is already in place, designed to take full advantage of its setting. Expansive wraparound porches provide multiple spaces for outdoor living while framing beautiful views toward Wayah Bald. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area features 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a wood-burning stone fireplace, and Andersen sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen offers Corian countertops, a work island with a cooktop, and a breakfast bar. The main-level primary bedroom enjoys its own private porch, while the lower level provides a spacious second bedroom with a full bath and separate entrance, ideal for guests or added privacy. A large basement workshop, generous storage, small barn, and terraced grounds add even more versatility. With 10.47 acres, long-range mountain views, an existing residence, usable outdoor spaces, and downtown Franklin only minutes away, the value here extends well beyond the home itself. Enjoy the property as it is today or explore its possibilities for the future.
