Boasting over two hundred acres nearly surrounded by USFS with almost 3/4 mile of Nolichucky River frontage, this incredible mountain property features an amazing rustic yet modern lodge with multiple outbuildings & alternate living spaces to create your very own private retreat in the heart of the Appalchian Mountains. Whether you're wanting a mountain estate or bug out property, this large private riverfront property is perfect for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, homesteading or use as a family compound, luxurious off-grid getaway or lodge. While the effects of Hurricane Helene are still somewhat evident along the banks of the Nolichucky River, this property has undergone extensive repairs and updates to roads, buildings and infrastructure. The river is back to its former beauty, and the lodge itself stands unaffected and ever vigilent high atop its mountain perch. While the main house retains the charm of Appalachia with its tasteful upgrades & modern amenities, the guest & river houses provide even more room for friends & family. Scattered throughout the property you'll find serene brooks, mountain springs, noisy waterfalls, a trout pond, a bass pond & even a professional skeet shooting range, all as peacefull as you'd imagine. With miles of gravel roads, plenty of space to expand,and even a new homesite on the river, this incredible mountain property is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a legacy for you & your family or a world class corporate retreat or nature/game preserve. This property, like the mountain on which is sits is timeless, resilient, and unbelievably beautiful. You need to see it to believe it.
