About this home
There are creekside properties and then there are places where the creek becomes part of the experience of the home. Welcome to 16 Wits End Way, a charming mountain cabin set directly along Hemphill Creek, where the rushing water provides an incredible natural soundtrack from morning to night.
This is an especially lively stretch of Hemphill Creek, with the unmistakable sound of roaring mountain water that can be enjoyed from the porch and outdoor sitting areas and even from inside the cabin when the windows are open. Steps lead down toward the creek to a dedicated viewing deck, creating a wonderful place to sit, unwind and experience the water up close.
And while the creek is one of the property's defining features, the home sits comfortably above it. The property is located outside both the 100-year and 500-year floodplains and is in Zone One. The home was not affected by flooding during Hurricane Helene.
The cabin itself is filled with character and has benefited from numerous updates. The interior has been remodeled, the flooring has been redone, and a recently upgraded metal roof adds another important improvement. Outside, multiple sitting areas invite you to enjoy the wooded mountain setting, while the fire pit offers a natural gathering place for cool Western North Carolina evenings, all accompanied by the sound of Hemphill Creek nearby.
One distinctive characteristic of the cabin is its ceiling height, which varies throughout the home and is approximately 6'10" in many areas. Under Canopy MLS heated living area (HLA) reporting standards and the North Carolina Real Estate Commission’s Residential Square Footage Guidelines, finished living area generally must have a ceiling height of at least 7 feet to qualify as HLA, subject to limited exceptions for certain beams, ducts, and sloped-ceiling areas. Because many of the cabin’s ceilings are below the 7-foot standard, those portions of the finished interior do not qualify for inclusion in the reported heated living area. Buyers are encouraged to review the measurements and square-footage information carefully for the distinction between reported HLA and other finished space.
Updated yet wonderfully rustic, this is a property that is difficult to capture in photographs alone. It's about sitting outside by the fire, walking down to the creek deck, opening the windows and hearing rushing water fill the cabin. For buyers looking for an authentic Waynesville mountain retreat with the sights and sounds of Hemphill Creek right outside the door, 16 Wits End Way offers a setting that truly stands apart....
