About this home

Unrestricted 3.8 acre mountain tract with direct access to Fontana Lake in Swain County, Western NC.

A partial driveway is in place, providing a starting point for future access and development. Enjoy boating, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and fishing on Fontana Lake, with Nantahala National Forest nearby for hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing, and other outdoor recreation.
