166 Red Oak Lane

Some properties have a view. This one has a soundtrack. Set along expansive Fightingtown Creek frontage on five unrestricted acres, 166 Red Oak is the kind of place that stops you at the door - the sound of moving water, a park-like setting, and quality craftsmanship that announces itself without trying. Built by Keith Sumner and offered fully furnished, this modern mountain retreat delivers something money can't easily replicate: genuine, unstageable atmosphere. At approximately 2,600 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and easy one-level living, the home is designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. The vaulted great room is anchored by a stunning stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that frame the creek - natural light pours in from every angle. The kitchen was made for gathering: Viking appliances, an oversized concrete island, and a dedicated butler's pantry that keeps everything effortless and tucked away. Outside, the property becomes its own resort. A covered party porch with an outdoor stone fireplace overlooks the creek. Beyond it: a beautiful outdoor kitchen, oversized gas fire pit, newly added hot tub, and professionally landscaped grounds - all with direct creek access for trout fishing steps from your door. A newly completed bonus room and bathroom add flexibility for guests or additional living space, and a workshop/additional structure adds even more utility to an already exceptional package. The value here goes beyond the home itself. An additional building lot is included, offering rare flexibility - whether you're looking to build a guest cottage, a caretaker's quarters, or hold it as a long-term investment. Paved access, no HOA, and five unrestricted acres make this one of the most versatile offerings in the area. Minutes from McCaysville and Blue Ridge with easy access to lakes, hiking, and golf. Live in it, escape to it, or rent it - this property performs in every role.
