A rare opportunity awaits with this 54-acre mountain property, ideally located just a mile from the NC/TN border—offering the benefits of no state income tax and low Tennessee property taxes. Surrounded by natural beauty, it borders the Cherokee National Forest and the Appalachian Trail, and is within ten miles of Beech and Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts and Roan Mountain State Park.
The property features multiple potential building sites, two scenic ponds, sweeping mountain views, and abundant wildlife including deer, bears, bobcats, hummingbirds, and bald eagles. A rustic mountain cabin with a loft and wraparound porch overlooks one of the ponds and could serve as a cozy getaway, rental base, or a starting point for further development.
This land offers exceptional potential for eco-tourism, a hostel, Airbnb cabins, or a private retreat. Additional structures on site include guest quarters, two barns, a storage building that could be repurposed, and a six-person sauna that, with some work, could become a standout feature for guests or wellness-focused rentals.
There are also areas of the land that could be selectively timbered for added income. Whether you're looking to create a peaceful homestead, an income-producing property, or a unique mountain lodging experience, the possibilities here are wide open.
Property is being sold As Is. Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all information.
