14 Marlin Trail

Waynesville, NC 28785

From every vantage point, the view says everything. Mount Pisgah, Ratcliff Mountain and Cold Mountain frame the horizon in an ever-changing yet unobstructed, year-round panorama that defines the character of this meticulously maintained mountain retreat. No matter the season, no matter the hour, that view is there, unhurried, unspoiled and seemingly yours alone. Inside, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs anchors the two-story great room, setting the tone for a home that is as inviting as the landscape surrounding it. The scale of the space is impressive without sacrificing warmth where soaring ceilings, natural light, and thoughtful finishes combine to create a gathering place that feels rand and deeply comfortable. The main level offers easy, intuitive living with everything you need on one floor, including a well-appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and upgraded appliances, a dedicated main-level laundry room, dining area, powder room, and a full primary suite with private deck access and spacious bath. Waking up to that view from your bedroom is not a detail to overlook. Upstairs, well-appointed guest bedrooms capture equally compelling mountain views, and a sizeable loft provides additional living space, ideal as a reading retreat, home office or casual lounge. A full bath completes the upper level. The lower level is a destination of its own. A private bar and kitchenette anchor a dedicated entertainment space with surround sound designed with gathering in mind. Two bonus rooms, configured as sleeping quarters, add meaningful capacity for hosting guests, extended family or rental occupants. A full bath serves the level, and the transition to the outdoors is seamless. Go through to the lower deck and gather around a fully plumbed gas fire pit on a crisp mountain evening, where conversation comes easily and the ridge line holds the last of the light. The elevation here is ideal with four full seasons, genuinely experienced. Subtle snowfall in winter settles across the ridges with the kind of stillness that reminds you why you sought the mountains in the first place. Autumn delivers color in every direction, the kind of display that draws visitors from across the country. Summers are cool enough that air conditioning remains largely an afterthought, and spring brings the mountains to life with beauty all their own. High-speed internet makes this an effortless full-time or part-time work-from-home option, with those mountain views as your daily backdrop. Offered fully furnished and turnkey with high-quality furniture, art and accessories throughout, this retreat is ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive. No waiting, no staging, no sourcing, simply arrive and settle in. Short-term rentals are permitted, making the property equally compelling as a personal mountain escape or a well-positioned income-producing asset in one of WNC's sought-after resort corridors. The Creekstone community delivers the rare combination of gated privacy, easy paved access and genuine lifestyle appeal. A community creekside park adds to the everyday appeal, offering a natural gathering space near your door. Beyond the gates, the location is exceptional by any measure. The Cataloochee Divide Trail provides direct access to the Great Smoky Mountains, one of the celebrated national parks in the U.S., a trail system that offers everything from casual ridge walks to backcountry immersion, with elk, old-growth forest and sweeping views. Cataloochee Ski Area sits just a couple of miles away. The Swag, one of WNC's acclaimed mountain resorts and a perennial favorite, is a short drive and well worth a dinner reservation, a day excursion or simply the comfort of knowing it is nearby. Historic Waynesville is only a 15-minute drive and Asheville is just over 30 minutes away. Some places make you want to visit. This one makes you want to stay and the longer you are here, the more that feeling grows.
