Set on approximately 1.18 acres, this 2007-built home offers 2,376 square feet of finished living space, including approximately 1,752 square feet on the main level and 624 square feet upstairs. The layout is spacious, warm, and inviting, with beautiful wood finishes, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a large gas fireplace that creates the perfect gathering place after a day exploring the mountains. Sold fully furnished and turnkey, this beautifully decorated home offers an effortless opportunity for a personal retreat or ready-to-go vacation rental. The home features three bedrooms, two baths, and a flexible upper-level sleeping loft that works beautifully for additional guests, a reading nook, game area, or office. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, personal mountain getaway, or income-producing vacation property, the floor plan offers room to spread out while still feeling cozy and connected. Outdoor living is one of the highlights of 240 Fortner. Covered porches and deck space invite you to slow down and enjoy the mountain setting in every season. Sip coffee in the cool morning air, relax with friends in the afternoon, or unwind in the hot tub beneath the stars after a day of hiking, rafting, fishing, or exploring nearby Bryson City. One of the most exciting features of this property is the massive unfinished lower level. At approximately 1,752 square feet with soaring ceilings reaching roughly 15 feet, this is not your typical basement. The space is just waiting for its potential to be unlocked. Imagine a game room, home theater, fitness area, workshop, owner storage, recreation space, or future finished living area. With nearly as much unfinished square footage below as finished space on the main level, the possibilities are substantial. The home has also operated as a successful short-term rental, giving buyers the benefit of an established vacation-rental history in one of Western North Carolina’s most popular mountain destinations. The log-cabin atmosphere, hot tub, generous sleeping space, porches, mountain views, and proximity to downtown Bryson City are all features vacation guests consistently seek. The location adds even more appeal. Downtown Bryson City, local restaurants, breweries, shops, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad are just minutes away, while Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fontana Lake, Cherokee, area rivers, hiking, fishing, and paddling are all within easy reach. With 2,376 square feet of finished living space plus approximately 1,752 square feet of unfinished lower-level potential, 240 Fortner offers more than a mountain cabin—it offers room to grow, income-producing potential, and the opportunity to create something truly special. Come for the mountain views and log-home charm. Stay for the space, location, rental history, outdoor living, and all the possibilities still waiting to be unlocked.

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 Alarka Creek, 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.

Some homes are built for resale. Others are built for retirement. Very few are built by someone who spent a lifetime in the construction industry, understood every system behind the walls, and intended to live there forever. The owner, a former builder and former owner of one of the region’s most respected HVAC companies, designed and constructed this residence as his personal forever home. Every decision—from the foundation and insulation to the mechanical systems and lake access—was made with longevity, comfort, efficiency, and ease of ownership in mind. Nestled along Fontana Lake, the property offers a unique combination of quality construction, practical luxury, and waterfront enjoyment. This home experiences very little boat traffic and as a result is a peaceful setting where the water remains inviting and accessible. The home offers approx 4,000 heated square feet and is currently configured as four bedrooms plus a loft. The main level features a spacious primary suite, an additional guest bedroom, and a separate full bath, allowing for comfortable main-level living. Upstairs, the loft serves as a flexible space for an office, overflow sleeping area, or studio and has a half bath. The lower level expands the home’s versatility with two bedrooms, a full bath, fitness room, mud room, and additional storage space. Septic permit for 3 bedrooms. Heated floors throughout the lower level provide exceptional comfort year-round. What truly separates this property from many luxury homes is what lies beneath the surface. The foundation was built with additional reinforcement. The exterior is clad entirely in Hardie Board siding and soffits for long-term durability and low maintenance. Spray-foam insulation was installed throughout the structure, improving comfort while reducing energy consumption. The owner engineered and installed a sophisticated three-zone HVAC system with smartphone controls and outside-air circulation for enhanced efficiency and indoor air quality. Despite the home’s size, the owner reports the highest monthly power bill has been approximately $182. Throughout the home, quality finishes continue the theme of intentional construction. Energy-efficient windows fill the interior with natural light, while Hunter Douglas window treatments provide privacy and comfort. The kitchen features Bosch appliances, including an induction cooktop and quiet dishwasher. A water purification system, while the well produces more than 40 gallons per minute. The seller plans to install a holding tank and provide a shared well agreement for the adjacent home currently under construction. Outdoor living was designed with the same level of thoughtfulness. The upper covered deck offers a private retreat for enjoying mountain mornings, lake views, and cool evening breezes. The lower deck is accessible from both the interior and exterior of the home, making it convenient for guests returning from the water. A paved circular driveway provides easy arrival, departure, and ample parking. A detached two-car garage complements the additional lower-level garage and storage area, offering plenty of room for vehicles, boats, lake toys, tools, and outdoor equipment. The walk to the water is one of the property’s most appealing advantages. Unlike many mountain lakefront homes where access can be steep and challenging, the path to the shoreline is gentle, walkable, and suitable for side-by-side access. TVA approval is already in place for an 8’x12’ wooden dock landing. The current dock system is mounted on wheels and designed to adapt to seasonal water levels. Additional outdoor features include a grilling area, firepit, and landscaping. For buyers seeking a lakefront home, this offers something increasingly difficult to find: a residence built not for resale, but to satisfy the exacting standards of the person who intended to spend the rest of his life there.
