Positioned within the gated community of Sims Valley, this custom mountain home combines rustic character with modern comfort in a peaceful, amenity-rich setting. Offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings in the living room that flow seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, creating an open layout well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

Two stacked stone, wood-burning fireplaces anchor the living room and study, providing inviting gathering spaces throughout the home. Natural light and the surrounding landscape enhance the warm, mountain aesthetic.

Take in long-range mountain views from the upper back deck, where the gentle sounds of the community pond below complement the setting. A lower sitting deck expands the outdoor living space and leads to a spacious storage and mechanical room with flexibility for a workout area, workshop, office, or artist studio.

Sims Valley stands apart as a gated mountain community where preserved natural landscape, sweeping long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains, and a deep sense of history create a setting that feels more like a private park than a traditional development. A thoughtfully designed trail system, waterfalls, and open gathering spaces are complemented by a clubhouse, fitness center, and a pool with stunning mountain views — an uncommon amenity outside of country club communities. Located between Cullowhee and Cashiers near Lake Glenville, Signal Ridge Marina, and Happs Restaurant, it offers a rare balance of seclusion, character, and convenience.
