Perched on a private five-acre promontory overlooking the Little Tennessee River, EagleWatch Mountain Retreat offers sweeping 270-degree views of the distant, layered mountain ridges. This distinctive property features four structures, anchored by a Mediterranean-style main villa with exposed beams and other unique architechtural details, an open floor plan, and expansive outdoor living spaces. The four-bedroom, three-bath main home includes an inviting living and dining area that flows onto a wraparound deck designed to take full advantage of the mountain views. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexibility, while the upper-level primary suite features a jetted tub and private retreat. A loft currently functions as a fourth bedroom. A separate guest house with a clean, modern design provides an additional bedroom, full kitchen, bath, and spacious decks. The property also includes a heated and cooled game room with a full bathroom, a yurt offering additional sleeping accommodations, two hot tubs, and thoughtfully maintained landscaping. Currently operating as a short-term rental and small event venue, EagleWatch offers an established history of hospitality use with multiple accommodations and gathering spaces. Located near Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center, a beautiful drive along Needmore Rd and the Little Tennessee River bring you to this special spot. From the property, an established path crosses a small strip of neighbor's land and onto a 4000 acre state owned and protected natural area, ending at the banks of the river. All considered, this distinctive property presents a compelling opportunity for continued rental use or a make it a stunning private mountain retreat.
