Offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings in the living room that flow seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, creating an open layout well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining. Two stacked stone, wood-burning fireplaces anchor the living room and study, providing inviting gathering spaces throughout the home. Natural light and the surrounding landscape enhance the warm, mountain aesthetic. Take in long-range mountain views from the upper back deck, where the gentle sounds of the community pond below complement the setting. A lower sitting deck expands the outdoor living space and leads to a spacious storage and mechanical room with flexibility for a workout area, workshop, office, or artist studio. Sims Valley stands apart as a gated mountain community where preserved natural landscape, sweeping long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains, and a deep sense of history create a setting that feels more like a private park than a traditional development. A thoughtfully designed trail system, waterfalls, and open gathering spaces are complemented by a clubhouse, fitness center, and a pool with stunning mountain views — an uncommon amenity outside of country club communities. Located between Cullowhee and Cashiers near Lake Glenville, Signal Ridge Marina, and Happs Restaurant, it offers a rare balance of seclusion, character, and convenience.
