Hidden among towering hardwoods and peaceful pines, this stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath wood-sided chalet offers the perfect blend of mountain charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location—just a short walk to Lake Hiwassee and an incredibly close public boat ramp, making it perfect for fishing, launching boats, jet skis, and enjoying all the lake life you can handle. Backing directly to U.S. Forest Service land with views of the lake, this nearly one-acre property is also only 5 minutes from downtown Murphy with all paved roads to your door—offering easy year-round access without sacrificing privacy or the tranquil feel of a mountain community. Inside, the Great Room welcomes you with hardwood floors, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a dramatic stone gas log fireplace, while massive chalet windows and sliding glass doors lead to three levels of porches and decks, including a spacious back deck and a cozy side porch. The kitchen features generous cabinetry, black stainless appliances, and ample counter space, flowing into a main-level Master Suite with porch access, granite counters, and a vessel sink. Upstairs, a versatile loft leads to a second Master Suite with walk-in closet, private balcony, and a spa-like ensuite with a custom tumbled stone and slate shower. The finished lower level is built for entertaining with a second stone fireplace, wood accents, custom bar and wet bar, mini-fridge, three wall-mounted TVs, and a third bedroom with private tile bath. Step outside to your fenced backyard retreat with a hot tub, fire pit, and powered 12' x 12' outbuilding, perfect for a workshop or storage. A detached 21' x 23' carport, home security system, and a brand-new HVAC system installed in April 2024 round out this incredible turnkey mountain home that truly has it all—lake access, privacy, views, and convenience in one exceptional package.
