OPEN HOUSE | SATURDAY, AUGUST 8th | 12:00 - 3:00 PM Set at the end of a ridge-top road on 8.72 private acres, this stunning log home offers sweeping mountain views of the gorge and valley below, including waterfrontage on the beginnings of Fontana Lake, river frontage, and community boat/dock access, all inside a national park and national forest county. The living room is anchored by a massive stone fireplace, completely rebuilt in 2021 with uniform ledge stone carried across the adjoining walls, a $75,000 project. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood and ceramic tile floors, and an open floor plan connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A sunroom off the main level takes in the light and the view. Main level living is fully workable here, with two bedrooms, each with private access to the covered porch, plus a breakfast bar, pantry, and laundry all on the main floor. Three bedrooms and three full baths spread across a plan built for company. The loft overlooks the living area. The full finished basement adds a rec and game room, a full bath, exercise and theatre space, a wine nook, and generous storage, with both interior and exterior entry. The current owners invested more than $117,000 in systems since 2021, which is the part of a mountain home most buyers never get to see. The heating and air conditioning system was completely replaced in May 2021 at a cost of $19,000, including a third zone added for the loft, and carries a Trane 10 year warranty the seller describes as transferable. A whole home Generac generator was installed in March 2021 at $9,600 and is under an annual service contract. French drains were installed around the foundation in 2022 at $6,400. The conventional water heater was replaced with two on demand propane units, and the well system received a DAB pump with two 250 gallon storage tanks. Every outlet and wall switch was replaced with Leviton components and a whole home surge suppressor was added. Additional upgrades include remote propane tank monitoring and electrical service down the driveway for the entrance light and a well head heater to guard against winter freeze. The furnishings are exceptional and negotiable under a separate agreement, selected room by room over years rather than bought as a package. Also available is a collection of 11 original oil paintings by Western North Carolina artist John Holland Houglum, displayed throughout the home. A buyer has the rare option to step into a finished, furnished mountain home rather than start with empty rooms. Nothing conveys unless agreed in writing. Outside, the porches and decks take in the mountains and the quiet. A newly added greenhouse has its own 30 amp service. The home is on well water and septic with a metal roof. Association dues are only $350 annually. Bryson City sits minutes away, a true gateway town to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad downtown, Deep Creek waterfalls and tubing just north, the Nantahala Gorge and its whitewater to the west, and Tsali's nationally known mountain bike trails on the Fontana peninsula. The fishing here is exceptional, between the Tuckasegee, the Nantahala, the park's backcountry streams, and Fontana Lake itself. Homes of this size, on this much private acreage, with water frontage and this level of mechanical investment, do not come along often in Swain County. Schedule your private showing.

Offered for the first time, this remarkable mid-century modern home sits high above the Nantahala River, capturing sweeping, elevated views of the water, mountains, and treetops from a vantage point that feels both dramatic and deeply peaceful. Set on 13.6 private acres, the property blends timeless architectural character with the natural beauty of Western North Carolina, creating a retreat that feels worlds away, yet minutes from hiking, kayaking, ziplining, boating and all the outdoor activities you could want. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Inside the main home, warm white oak flooring and rich, handmade mahogany doors, windows and trim set the tone for a space that is both modern and organic. Large windows frame the ever-changing scenery, bringing in soft natural light and showcasing the river far below, the ridgelines beyond, and the surrounding forest canopy. The home’s mid-century lines create an effortless flow between living spaces, with clean geometry, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a sense of calm that makes every room feel connected to the outdoors. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee as the fog lifts from the river or watching the sunset paint the mountains in evening color, the views here are nothing short of exceptional. Enjoy the large, open living/dining area, with three levels of panoramic windows, crowned by a large semi-circular window to bring in even more natural light and views for the living area as well as the loft bedroom upstairs. A pair of steps lead to the slightly elevated kitchen, providing an even more dramatic view of the river and mountains. Corner windows and a custom handmade mahogany table with matching bench seating provide the ultimate spot for brunch or family dinners. The loft bedroom has a private ensuite bathroom and more of the amazing views from the second floor level. A separate guest house sits just a short distance from the main home, offering its own private escape with the same stunning outlook. The upper level features a dedicated bedroom with an ensuite bath, while the lower level includes a full bath, an open living area, and a kitchenette — perfect for guests, extended family, or a private workspace. A spacious deck extends the living area outdoors, providing a front-row seat to the same elevated river and mountain views that make the main home so special. The guest house has a proven history as a successful short-term rental, and the main home could easily serve the same purpose for buyers seeking income potential. The land itself is a rare asset: 13.6 acres of privacy, wooded beauty, and complete freedom. With no restrictions, the possibilities are wide open — short-term rentals, additional dwellings, tiny homes, cabins, or a private family compound. A separate cleared, level area beside the main home offers an ideal location for building an additional residence or guest cabin, with utilities already in place. Whether you envision expanding the property, creating a multi-home retreat, or simply enjoying the acreage as it is, the land provides space, privacy, and opportunity. Every part of this property feels intentional — from the architectural details to the way the structures are positioned to capture the views. The setting is quiet and serene, with the view of the river, endless sky, and the mountains unfolding in every direction. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and feel connected to the landscape around you. Properties like this — with mid-century character, extraordinary views, a guest house, unrestricted acreage, and a history of successful short-term rental use — almost never come to market. This is a rare chance to own a private mountain retreat with room to grow, income potential, and a setting that feels truly extraordinary. If you’ve been searching for a home that offers beauty, privacy, and possibility in equal measure, this 13.6-acre Nantahala River overlook is ready to welcome its next steward.
