Property Description

Take a step back in time at the Massie House — a Waynesville landmark since 1927 and one of Western North Carolina's most storied properties. This lovingly preserved European Revival estate is where Roy Rogers, Lester Flatt, Gene Autry, and generations of distinguished guests once gathered. Set on an impressive 2.65 private acres with year-round mountain views, yet walking distance to the shops, restaurants, and galleries of historic downtown Waynesville, this exceptional residence is as rare as it is remarkable. Spanning three levels, each with its own primary suite, the 5 bed/3.5 bath floor plan is as flexible as it is generous — equally suited to a gracious private residence, a multigenerational compound, or a revival of its celebrated past as a successful Bed and Breakfast. Historic provenance, income potential, and genuine hosting capacity in a single offering. Original pine floors worn smooth by nearly a century of living, charming brick fireplaces, intricate millwork, period tilework, French doors that spill light across every room, a grand staircase that commands the entry, and a stone wall stretching through the entry that feels as though it grew from the mountain itself — the historic details here are not decorative gestures. They are the architecture. Newly installed gardens featuring fruit trees, berry plantings, and ample hydrangea deepen the sense of arrival, while covered porches and porte cochere extend the living space outward into the landscape and the long mountain views beyond. With thoughtful updates for modern living without sacrificing an ounce of character. Walk to downtown Waynesville. Ski Cataloochee. Paddle Lake Junaluska. Some addresses carry a history that precedes you and outlasts you. This is one of them and it's ready for a steward to carry it into it's next 100 years.
