Riverdance at Bear River Lodge sits within one of Western North Carolina's most coveted private communities — where residents enjoy exclusive access to over a mile of Big Laurel Creek, a pristine catch-and-release trout fishery running directly through the property. This isn't a nearby public stream. This is your stretch of wild water — over a mile of it — protected, private, and world-class. The property itself is a fully turnkey three-unit compound at 55 & 53 Laurel Ridge, set behind the gates of Bear River Lodge with sweeping long-range mountain views from every vantage point. The main residence features a primary 1-bed/1-bath suite on the main level, plus a fully self-contained lower apartment with its own private entrance and deck. The adjacent cottage at 53 Laurel Ridge is an open-concept 1-bed/1-bath tiny home with vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, and a private porch framing panoramic mountain views. Whether you use the two additional units to host family and friends, offset your costs through short-term rentals, or simply keep the compound as your own private mountain kingdom, the flexibility is extraordinary. Hot Springs, the French Broad River, and the Appalachian Trail are minutes away — but honestly, with over a mile of wild river at your feet, you may never want to leave. Three units. One gated mountain community, and world class trout stream to call your own.
