Description

Unique top-of-the-mountain opportunity in the heart of the Nantahala Gorge recreation area. This 6.45+/- acre property consists of two adjoining lots with three established pad sites, incredible long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains, and direct adjacency to National Forest. Located at the end of the road below Wesser Bald, the setting offers exceptional privacy, high elevation, rock outcroppings, and unobstructed mountain views, with the property owning the land in front of the view corridor. The upper pad site features a gazebo positioned to enjoy the mountain scenery. The middle pad site was planned for the main residence and includes a well and septic system in place for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. The lower lot is improved with a large shop-style structure featuring oversized RV-type garage doors, abundant windows, and the potential to be finished into a 1 bedroom, 1 bath retreat with septic still needed. Stacked stone entry columns create a striking entrance to the property. The original vision was to use the lower structure as a garage/workshop for RVs and vehicles, build the main home on the middle pad, and enjoy the upper gazebo site as a scenic overlook. With multiple usable sites already in place, this property offers outstanding flexibility for a private mountain retreat, recreational basecamp, workshop, or future residence. Enjoy absolute peace and privacy at the top of the mountain while remaining just minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, the Appalachian Trail area, and endless outdoor recreation. A truly distinctive property with views, privacy, USFS frontage, and remarkable potential in one of Western North Carolina's most sought-after mountain recreation destinations.
