Turn-Key 8-Unit Investment Opportunity on 15.57 Acres with Expansion Potential. Positioned within a quiet, well-maintained gated mountain community, this 15.57-acre property presents a unique opportunity to acquire an established 8-unit residential investment with additional value-add and development potential. The property consists of two separate four-unit condominium buildings, providing a total of eight spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath units. Each residence features high ceilings, generous living spaces, a private deck, and beautiful short- and long-range mountain views. Upper-level residences are enhanced by dramatic cathedral ceilings, while the lower condominium building features private garage space designated for each residence. The property is turn-key and positioned for immediate operation, offering flexibility for short-term vacation rentals, long-term rentals, or a combination of rental strategies, subject to applicable restrictions and regulations. Its gated setting, peaceful atmosphere, mountain views, and private outdoor spaces create an attractive environment for both vacation and residential tenants. Beyond the existing eight units, the property offers additional upside. An existing building is already in place with the potential to be converted into an additional condominium or rental unit, creating an immediate value-add opportunity. With 15.57 acres in total and substantial acreage separating the existing improvements, there may also be potential for additional residential development and construction of future units, subject to zoning, infrastructure, permitting, community restrictions, and buyer due diligence. For an investor seeking a property that combines existing income-producing improvements, turn-key rental potential, multiple buildings, significant acreage, and a potential path for future expansion, this offering provides a compelling opportunity to acquire a scalable mountain rental asset in a private gated setting.

4 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 4415354 MLS
This beautifully appointed rustic cottage sits at 4,500 feet of elevation and offers a rare expression of mountain luxury—where refined comfort meets the untamed beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounded by cool mountain air, towering forests, and breathtaking long-range mountain views, the cottage feels wonderfully secluded and deeply connected to its setting. From its elevated perch, the home captures spectacular sunrises over the Blue Ridge, with the mountains slowly illuminated in layers of soft morning light. It is a setting that makes an ordinary cup of coffee feel like an extraordinary experience. Natural materials, warm wood tones, and thoughtfully curated interiors create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting, evoking the timeless character of an elevated mountain retreat. At the heart of the home, a beautifully designed chef’s kitchen blends sophisticated appointments with the warmth of a true mountain gathering place. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf gas range provide the caliber of appliances expected in a luxury retreat, while generous workspace and an inviting layout make the kitchen equally suited to elaborate dinners or leisurely breakfasts with family and friends. Two impressive stone wood-burning fireplaces anchor the home, bringing warmth, character, and a sense of timeless mountain romance. One is found in the heart of the living space, while the other transforms the extraordinary screened porch into an unforgettable outdoor room. Framed by the surrounding forest and spectacular mountain views, the screened porch offers an idyllic setting for lingering fireside evenings, intimate gatherings, or simply listening to the quiet of the mountains. Here, luxury is found in the details: quiet mornings watching the sunrise paint the ridgelines in gold, meals prepared in a world-class kitchen, afternoons immersed in the mountain landscape, and evenings gathered around a crackling fire. Every room invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the extraordinary sense of place. Tucked just beyond the main residence, a charming studio in the woods offers a magical and inspiring escape of its own. Thoughtfully positioned among the trees, this private retreat is ideal for artists, writers, musicians, or anyone seeking a dedicated space for creativity and reflection. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by the sounds of the forest, it provides an atmosphere where inspiration flows effortlessly and time seems to slow. At this elevation, the air is crisp, the seasons are vivid, and the surrounding mountains provide a magnificent backdrop in every direction. Whether enjoying coffee as the forest awakens, preparing dinner with friends, relaxing by the fire, or watching the sunrise unfold across the Blue Ridge, this is mountain living at its most authentic—and most indulgent. Come see this private sanctuary above the clouds, where rustic character, exceptional craftsmanship, spectacular views, and understated luxury come together in perfect harmony.

IMPROVED PRICE! Dreaming of a mountain cabin on the water with plenty of room for a garden and room for a few rental units for extra money? Want convenience to shopping, restaurants, schools and paved road access? How about all of that and water, sewer, state maintained roads? This is your opportunity! Exceptional river frontage property offering in the mountains of western North Carolina! This level 1.67 acre parcel with a cabin overlooking the river features 400 feet of frontage on the beautiful Tuckaseegee River, popularly referred to as "The Tuck". Featured as a primary river for rainbow trout dry fly fishing, the Tuck is a year round outdoor recreation destination. Ideally positioned in Dillsboro area on North River Road (NCSR 1359) and just off US23/441, the primary north/south roading leading from Atlanta to Cherokee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Asheville area. Dillsboro is the intersection of 23/441 and US 74, the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway. The property's location combines easy accessibility with privacy in a scenic setting along the river but features water and sewer served by the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer with four (4) taps in place. The parcel's flat topography, expansive river frontage and generous road frontage creates a compelling canvas for a boutique lodge, riverfront nursery, curated short-term rental concept or private estate. The choices are unlimited. While the property adjoins both of the towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, there is no zoning, allowing a broad range of residential options and affordability with no municipal taxes! Present uses of the property include a park model rental which has produced a substantial income in a modified short term rental (3 months and longer). The owners have a two bedroom, two bath cabin overlooking the river and features a covered porch with hot tub overlooking the river. The river frontage area has been terraced down to the river and is included in the flood plain but the great majority of the property is high enough not to be in the food plain. Hurricane Helene's heavy rains brought the water level up and into the terraced areas but did not encroach onto the level parts of the parcel! Opportunies offering this combination of infrastructure, road and river frontage, location and flexibility along the Tuckaseegee River are rare and this presents both a lifestyle asset and a compelling long-term investment.
