Set on 2.8 acres in the heart of Linville Falls, the historic Franklin-Penland House blends timeless mountain character with thoughtfully updated living spaces designed for modern comfort. With only six owners since 1883, this remarkable estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's treasured legacy properties. Equally rich in history and design, both the main residence and guest cottage have been professionally curated and designed, creating spaces that honor the home's heritage while embracing refined mountain living. Thoughtful finishes, layered textures and carefully selected details enhance the character of each space while preserving the property's historic charm. The five-bedroom, 4.5-bath main residence is filled with warmth, character and inviting gathering spaces throughout. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a Wolf dual-fuel range, a wine refrigerator and a generous island designed for gathering with family and friends. A farmhouse sink overlooks the outdoor living spaces and gardens, bringing the beauty of the grounds indoors. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the home's living spaces, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, holidays and everyday mountain living. Designed for both comfort and flexibility, the home offers two primary suites, including one on the main level and a second upstairs. Two separate dens provide multiple areas for relaxation, while the formal dining room is suited for hosting memorable dinners and celebrations. Historic details, abundant natural light and professionally designed interiors combine to create a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Outside, the grounds are nothing short of extraordinary. Mature gardens, winding paths and the Stumpery Garden create a private oasis filled with seasonal blooms, color and charm. Thoughtfully buffered landscaping provides exceptional privacy and serenity, creating a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away. A beautifully landscaped outdoor living area with a fire pit offers a place to gather beneath the stars and enjoy cool mountain evenings. Complementing the main residence is a charming, historic guest cottage, which served as the original 1907 Linville Falls Post Office. It is thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed, offering a special retreat for visitors, extended family or potential rental use. A detached two-car garage with dedicated office space provides additional flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits or storage. The expansive acreage offers room to roam, garden, entertain and enjoy a lifestyle rarely found in today's market. Rich in history, elevated by exceptional design and thoughtfully updated for modern living, the Franklin-Penland House is a truly extraordinary High Country estate where heritage, beauty and functionality come together in one unforgettable property. The upstairs guest bedrooms are accessed by way of the main home's upstairs hallway, through the breezeway. Both bedrooms are located just off the porch/breezeway. Therefore, the 501 square feet could not be added to the total heated square footage of the home. Tax card square footage reflects the two upstairs bedrooms/501 square feet in the total heated square footage. Furnishings are not part of the sale but could be handled outside of the transaction. Please see the Franklin-Penland fact sheet for the history of the property and details of the extensive renovation.

Once the local stop for gas and a sandwich, the back corner of this building is also the location of the old Frank Rural Station Post Office. Above the store are five bedrooms, two kitchens, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and two laundry areas just waiting to be updated and become a cool AirBnB with views of North Toe River and surrounding mountains, a full time residence for a family, or whatever your heart desires. Behind the store is the barber shop where folks could get a haircut for about 30 years. This was eventually converted to living space with a living and sleeping area, kitchen, laundry area, and full bathroom, and the store to an antique shop. There are three additional buildings on the property that would be perfect for storage or for homesteading. According to local accounts, the well on this property is so great it almost flooded the community when it was drilled before it could be capped. There do appear to be a few buried tanks on the property and those from the community believe the gas tanks were filled with sand though no one has a record of this. Property includes river frontage on the Squirrel Creek Road side of the property. Make your appointment to view this unique property before your chance is gone! Owner financing not being offered.
