Property Description
Tucked away on 2.43 private acres in the Alarka Highlands community, the ALARKA HIGHLANDS BUNGALOW offers a rare mountain setting with the soothing sounds of a rushing creek & a private path leading to your OWN SECLUDED WATERFALL.

A nearby firepit is just off the deck for cozy evenings under the stars. The home features a bright open studio-style layout where the kitchen, living area & sleeping space flow together in one inviting room. Large picture windows fill the space with natural light & frame the surrounding woods, while a stone fireplace anchors the living area with warmth & rustic charm. Alarka Highlands offers a community pavilion & tennis courts for owners to enjoy. Offered fully furnished & turnkey & already set up as a STR. It's about 25 miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park & the charming shops and eateries of Bryson City. This is the first home inside of the community with a paved road to the door. Alarka Highlands Bungalow is the affordable Smoky Mountain investment you’ve been waiting for.
