285 Peachtree Mountain Estate Rd

A 2017 treehouse-style home on 1.6 unrestricted acres near Murphy, North Carolina, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, listed at $268,900 after a $1,100 price cut.

The feel

The listing pitches this one directly at anyone tired of log cabins: privacy, no restrictions, and over an acre and a half of wooded land, with a front deck you pull right up to for easy entry. Huge windows throughout bring the outside in and give the home what the listing calls a treehouse feel, with a seasonal mountain view through the trees. The community entrance includes a covered bridge.

The house

Built in 2017 and listed at 1,557 square feet, the home has 6-inch walls and triple-pane windows for energy efficiency, along with 9-foot ceilings that the listing says create an open, spacious feel. The centrally located kitchen has a good-sized dining area and a half bath for guests on the main level.

A black spiral staircase leads down to two private primary suites, each with its own bathroom and a good-sized closet. A laundry closet sits between the two bedrooms, and the lower level has its own walkout access.

The exterior is Hardie board, which the listing notes as low maintenance, on a wooded lot that keeps outdoor upkeep light.

What to know before you call

This home last sold for $66,000 in June 2016, before the current structure was built in 2017; the $66,000 figure likely reflects the land only. No county tax record was found for this parcel during our check, so property taxes stay out of the facts table below rather than being estimated. HOA status, water and sewer source, heating and cooling type, and financing terms are also not listed.
