4851 E US 64 Alt

A renovated 1980 farmhouse on 1.1 acres minutes from downtown Murphy, North Carolina, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a detached metal workshop, listed at $399,500 after a $10,500 price cut.

The views

The listing opens with “Million Dollar Views without the Price,” and calls the magnificent mountain and pastoral scenery the centerpiece of the property. A covered front porch and a separate screened porch both take advantage of the outlook.

The house

Built in 1980, the farmhouse has been updated with granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, hardwood floors, and a bright sunroom or office that catches natural light throughout the day. A vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams runs through the great room, anchored by a stone fireplace.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms round out the floor plan, including a second bedroom with its own stone fireplace.

A detached 20-by-30-foot metal workshop with electricity, a concrete floor and a roll-up door sits on the property, along with the separate screened porch for outdoor relaxing.

What to know before you call

This home last sold for $275,000 in October 2022 and is now asking $399,500, a $124,500 increase over that sale price in roughly four years, reflecting the renovation work described in the listing along with general market movement. Cherokee County’s public record lists the structure at 1,352 square feet against the listing’s 1,380, a minor difference likely from how finished space is measured.

Cherokee County’s record shows annual property taxes of $1,426.97 for 2025. HOA status, water and sewer source, heating and cooling type, and financing terms are not given on the listing.
