Property Description
Imagine stepping onto a breathtaking 140.89-acre unrestricted mountain estate in beautiful Nantahala NC. Fresh mountain air mingled w/wildflowers greets you, as gentle waves lap the shores of a private stocked pond. Dip your fingers in cool water, cast a line & watch fish leap under sparkling sunlight reflections. In the 2024 built barndominium (2,229 sq ft, 3 beds, 2.5 baths) sunlight floods an open floor plan, framing serene pond & mountain vistas. A lovely, stacked stone fireplace crackles invitingly; the kitchen & dining area enhances every meal with peaceful views. A main-level primary suite provides quiet luxury; two upstairs bedrooms, bonus loft room, & a full bath complete the cozy home. +/-15 acres of fenced pasture is ideal for horses grazing. Own 25-30 acres of wooded ridge line in deep greens and shadowy blues feature peaceful trails winding through the trees. Rolling hills & open views offer stunning mountain views shifting from misty dawn purples to vibrant autumn crimsons. Screened patio & covered porch extend living outdoors—feel the soft evening air, hear frogs chorus at dusk, watch fireflies dance over rippling lake. Complementing the main houses is the rustic "old charmer" guest house (4 beds, 1 bath), exuding nostalgic warmth—perfect for family, guests, or creative escapes. Outbuildings enrich the estate: barn with hay loft, attached chicken pen, equipment shed, new storage building, livestock sheds, plus a garden—all nestled naturally. Abundant wildlife (deer, bear, turkey & squirrels) affirms true mountain serenity, with trails for hiking, 4wheeling, and adventure near Nantahala National Forest, the Nantahala River rapids, & the pristine Nantahala Lake. This rare gem awakens every sense: chill pond water, whispering ancient trees, homegrown bounty, profound starlit peace. Awaken to misty mornings, harvest under vast skies, gather by crackling fire. Not just property—a full-sensory immersion in NC's wild heart. Schedule your private tour today!
