Surrounded by high peaks, it offers exceptional hiking, fishing, and access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smokies, all with cool mountain summers and beautiful fall color. Homes range from historic in-town houses to mountain-view residences, cabins, and newer communities, with options across the market and for second homes alike. Asheville is just 30 minutes east. If you want a walkable mountain town with genuine culture, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community near both Asheville and the Smokies, Waynesville is one of the region's finest.
