175 Pine Ridge Dr

A 1975 home on four lots totaling about 3 acres in the gated Granny Squirrel community near Andrews, North Carolina, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, furnished, with panoramic mountain views. Listed at $299,800 after a $25,000 price cut.

The setting

Granny Squirrel is a gated community known for its covered bridge entrance, and this property sits tucked away in the woods for privacy. The listing calls out breathtaking panoramic mountain views as the main draw, with multiple decks positioned to take them in. A double garage with power, roll-up doors and a finished loft sits along the approach to the house.

The house

Built in 1975 and listed at 2,842 square feet, the home is furnished and sold that way. A welcoming porch and mudroom lead into a galley kitchen with abundant cabinet and counter space and a pantry. Beyond the kitchen, a Great Room with large windows opens onto the mountain scenery, and an adjacent living room has a vaulted wood ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

Behind the fireplace, the main-level Master Suite has ample closet space, a vanity with a makeup mirror, a skylight, washer and dryer connections in the en suite bath, and its own private deck. A bonus room and guest bathroom round out the main level.

Upstairs, a loft overlooks the living space below a second skylight, with a built-in shelving nook and two more guest bedrooms sharing a full bathroom. The lower level holds a large recreation room with picture-window mountain views and its own door out to the porch.

What to know before you call

The listing says plainly that the home needs some TLC while still offering tremendous potential as what it calls a true mountain showplace. The photos show dated finishes throughout, consistent with that description.

This home last sold for $106,500 in June 2016. Cherokee County’s public tax record lists the parcel at 16,553 square feet, about 0.38 acres, well short of the listing’s nearly 3 acres across four combined lots. That gap is the kind of thing worth confirming with a survey or the community’s plat records before writing an offer, since the taxed parcel and the full described lot don’t match. Cherokee County’s record shows annual property taxes of $814.20 for 2025.
