Over 3 acres, lake and mountain views, a promising building site, a septic permit valid through 2029 and a 15-GPM well already in place—much of the groundwork has been done. Bring your house plans and discover not just a place to build, but a community to belong to. Skip two of the biggest hurdles of building in the mountains—a septic permit is already issued and valid through 2029, and a well producing an impressive 15 GPM is already in place on this 3+ acre Fontana Lake Estates homesite with lake and mountain views! The upper portion of the property offers a gentle slope, providing an appealing starting point for your future mountain home. The building area could be enlarged by grading the upper portion of the site, creating additional usable space for the home, parking and outdoor living. And then there are the views. With selective tree clearing, this property has the potential for beautiful views of Fontana Lake framed by the surrounding Smoky Mountains, while the fall and winter months reveal just how expansive the lake and mountain setting can be. A community hiking trail passes very near the property, making it easy to step out for a walk through the woods. But what truly sets Fontana Lake Estates apart is the lifestyle and sense of community. This is the kind of neighborhood where newcomers can quickly find “instant friends.” An active social calendar brings neighbors together throughout the year for casual gatherings like ice cream socials and cookouts, organized dinners, lake outings, holiday celebrations and other community events. Participate as much—or as little—as you like. It's a wonderful combination of having the privacy of your own mountain retreat while being part of a welcoming and active community. Owners also enjoy private access to Fontana Lake through the FLE marina area with a private boat ramp, day-use docks, dry boat storage and lakeside gathering areas. Spend your days boating, fishing, kayaking or paddleboarding, meet friends down at the lake, or simply find a quiet spot to take in the scenery. With private hiking trails, paved roads, underground utilities, lake access and an active community, Fontana Lake Estates offers something increasingly difficult to find in the mountains: privacy without isolation.

Custom woodwork sets the tone, and live edge counters anchor a full bar with its own sink, ready for game nights, movie nights, and everything in between. Settle into the theater room for the big game, keep your routine in the dedicated exercise room, then step straight outside through the walk-out to the yard. Extra storage keeps the gear and holiday decorations out of sight, so this level stays as easy to enjoy as it is to host in.

$750,000

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.

$2,250,000

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.
