Tucked away on 5.5 acres at the base of picturesque Hogback Mountain, this charming Cape Cod-style home offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and functional living. Located just outside of Landrum in the area locals affectionately call the “Dark Corner,” this property is a true mountain retreat with a firepit area, wooded trails, and a peaceful babbling brook right in your own backyard. A welcoming front porch sets the tone as you step inside to a thoughtfully designed layout. The main level features an exceptionally spacious primary suite complete with two oversized walk-in closets and a generously sized ensuite bath. The inviting living room is centered around a cozy fireplace, flanked by windows that frame serene, nature-filled views. A convenient half bath and access to the back deck make this space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and dual pantries offering ample storage. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional large bedrooms—each with double closets, and a full bath, providing plenty of room for family or guests. One of the bedrooms has an oversized flex space with two additional closets that would be ideal for a fourth bedroom. The expansive basement adds even more versatility, featuring a private wood-paneled office or study, a large laundry and utility room, and additional unfinished space already roughed in for a future bathroom—perfect for expanding your living area or creating a custom space to suit your needs. Outside, a detached double garage includes an unfinished upper level for even more storage or potential use. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this property offers the rare opportunity to own a private oasis while still being within reach of town conveniences.
