About this home

At nearly 3,500 ft elevation, this 8.06-acre mountain property offers incredible close-up and long-range views, a rushing creek, cooler temperatures, and the privacy buyers are searching for in the mountains of Western NC. Much of the work is already done for you with a driveway, house pad, and 2-bedroom septic system already installed, making this property ready for your dream home, mountain getaway, or vacation rental. Surrounded by native rhododendron and mountain laurel, the property becomes especially beautiful when everything is in bloom. Cold Springs Creek runs below the homesite, adding to the peaceful mountain setting, and with a little clearing you could open up an even better view of the water below. Wildlife, natural beauty, and a quiet setting make this a place where you can truly relax and enjoy the outdoors. Conveniently located near Nantahala Outdoor Center and Lake Nantahala, you'll have easy access to rafting, boating, fishing, hiking, and endless mountain adventure while still enjoying the privacy of your own mountain retreat.
