About this home

Welcome to 11 By the Wayside, an exceptional mountain retreat nestled on just over 10 private acres in the quiet and serene White Oak Mountain community. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this home invites you to arrive, exhale, and immediately begin enjoying the mountain lifestyle.

The thoughtfully updated kitchen and main living area flow seamlessly onto a covered veranda, where sweeping, unobstructed mountain views create a stunning backdrop for entertaining or evenings immersed in nature. Inside, the home has been impeccably maintained and offers five spacious bedrooms, four and a half baths, a formal dining room, and a warm, inviting den—providing generous space for hosting family and friends. Begin your mornings on the covered rocking-chair front porch, coffee in hand, overlooking your private pond. From the moment you turn onto the tree-lined driveway, the sense of privacy and tranquility sets this property apart.

Additional features include an unfinished third-floor walk-up offering abundant storage or future potential. Residents of White Oak Mountain enjoy access to over 400 acres of preserved green space, seven+ acres of water, three scenic ponds, and a community picnic area—an unparalleled setting for outdoor living. All furnishings, electronics, artwork, washer and dryer, refrigerator, and new custom shades convey with the home, making this a rare move-in-ready mountain escape. Fireplace conveys as-is with no known issues.

A true mountain sanctuary—private, scenic, and effortlessly livable. Please use provided directions; GPS is not recommended. Coming from Tryon, take a right on Houston Road. Take a left on White Oak Mountain Road and drive approximately .3 miles up the mountain. Make a left on Hemlock Trail (it will say private road) and stay left 1.7 miles to 11 By the Wayside located on left. Home is nestled on the top of White Oak Mountain, so please note, you will be driving up the mountain.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
