Welcome to one of Western North Carolina's most remarkable private mountain estates. Encompassing approximately 116 acres behind a private gated entrance, this extraordinary property combines luxury, recreation, equestrian amenities, self-sufficiency, and natural beauty in a setting designed to be enjoyed for generations. With 20 acres located outside of HOA restrictions, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and recreational opportunity. At the heart of the property sits a handcrafted dovetail log lodge constructed from timber harvested directly from the land itself. Surrounded by mountain views, streams, trails, and abundant wildlife, the home offers timeless craftsmanship and an unmistakable sense of place. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, expansive windows, and a grand stone fireplace create a warm yet impressive gathering space. The primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring its own fireplace along with separate his-and-her bathrooms. The estate is thoughtfully designed with a detached 647-square-foot guest apartment above the garage, complete with its own kitchen, full bath, bedroom area, and private entrance. Whether utilized for guests, extended stays, or additional accommodations, this flexible space adds significant value and versatility. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive. Enjoy two stocked ponds, multiple streams, established trails, hunting opportunities, and frequent sightings of deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The outdoor BBQ area overlooking the water creates an exceptional setting for entertaining, fishing, and enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. Two hunting stands are already in place for those seeking a true sporting retreat. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the custom cedar barn featuring four stalls, tack room, loft with hay feeders, full bath, water, electricity, and adjacent pasture. A large cedar storage building provides additional space for equipment, tools, and recreational gear. Designed for year-round comfort and peace of mind, the property is equipped with generator systems serving the main lodge, guest apartment, and well house. Additional infrastructure includes two wells and a 290-gallon fuel storage tank. Even better, most furnishings, the tractor, UTV, and additional equipment convey, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying the property immediately. Properties offering this level of craftsmanship, acreage, infrastructure, recreation, and privacy are increasingly rare in Western North Carolina.

Where panoramic mountain views meet the feel of a private rainforest retreat, this one-of-a-kind custom home creates an experience unlike anything else on the market. Positioned at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac inside the gated Vista at Bill’s Mountain community, the property is surrounded by protected natural beauty, with a rushing mountain stream and walking trail just beyond the backyard. From sunrise over the long-range mountain views to evenings spent listening to the sounds of the creek from your deck, every space was designed to connect you with nature while still offering refined luxury and comfort. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light, soaring ceilings create an impressive sense of scale, and the open-concept layout flows effortlessly for entertaining or everyday living. The heart of the home is anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living areas, while the chef’s kitchen offers premium stainless appliances, generous gathering space, and easy access to multiple outdoor decks. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful escape with direct access to the outdoor living spaces, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day in the mountains. The lower levels offer incredible flexibility with spacious recreation areas, guest accommodations, and bonus rooms ideal for additional sleeping quarters, office space, or hobby rooms. With no homes beyond your view line and fewer than 100 homes throughout this 800-acre gated community, privacy here feels truly unmatched. This is not simply a mountain home—it’s a secluded sanctuary where luxury and nature exist in perfect balance.
