Enjoy end-of-road privacy with wilderness area surrounding the property on three and a half sides boasting over a quarter mile of live, pristine TROUT stream frontage. This home is literally only a few steps from US Forest Land and miles of hiking trails taking you to the Appalachian Trail at Deep Gap and to mountain tops like Standing Indian. The residence is a completely rebuilt, circa 1940s cabin (approx. 1500 sq ft, 2BD/2BTH) transformed into an Appalachian-style jewel box. The structure features breathtaking 200+ year old, hand-hewn Eastern hemlock beams, custom heart pine cabinetry from repurposed cotton mill floorboards, and a pre-Civil War Antebellum brick kitchen backsplash. Over 100 tons of Nantahala basin river rock stone are integrated throughout, including retaining walls, foundation surround, the towering stone fireplace (built with prehistoric valley river basin boulders), and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired patios. The property includes a riverside hot tub, an outdoor stacked stone fireplace/smoker, a deep, private swimming hole accessed via a custom swinging bridge, a screened sleeping porch, and an artesian well. Furniture negotiable. Seller will consider subdividing. Other property with cabins and workshops is available. Shown by appointment only. Detailed feature sheet available.
