This stunning mountain retreat blends rustic sophistication with the comfort and practicality buyers appreciate. Rich heart-pine floors bring warmth and timeless character, while the vaulted great room and expansive chalet windows fill the home with natural light and frame the sweeping mountain views. Set on a private lot with picturesque long-range views, the home offers the peace and privacy of a mountain setting without feeling remote. Start the morning with coffee on the porch as the ridgelines come to life, or spend the evening taking in the changing colors of the landscape. Nature is always right outside your door. One of the home's standout features is its convenient approach with a short, paved road to access the property. Enjoy the privacy, views, and sense of escape that make mountain living so appealing without the long, winding climb often associated with mountain properties. Offered furnished, this home makes it easy to arrive, settle in, and start enjoying it from day one. Whether used as a weekend retreat, a place to gather, or a full-time residence, this home offers an exceptional combination of authentic mountain character and thoughtful comfort. The terrace level adds flexibility and is currently arranged as a game room with a dedicated bunk area, but could also be reimagined as a private bedroom suite. And then there is Murphy, a charming mountain town where the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers meet, with a welcoming downtown, local restaurants and shops, the Murphy River Walk, nearby hiking and recreation, and easy access to the surrounding mountains and waterways. Cherokee County has seen steady growth, with its population increasing approximately 7.1% from 2020 to 2025. The result is a community that retains its small-town mountain character while continuing to attract interest from those looking for a beautiful place to live, visit, and invest. 20 Locust Pointe Trail is the complete package: beautiful long-range views, authentic mountain character, and convenient access, all within reach of everything Murphy has to offer. *Some photos may be AI-enhanced
