What's special

This is an unparalleled, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the first private property at the headwaters of the Tallulah River, nestled against the Nantahala Southern Wilderness at 2800 feet elevation. Enjoy end-of-road privacy with wilderness area surrounding the property on two sides, boasting over a quarter mile of live, pristine TROUT stream frontage. This home is literally only a few steps from US Forest Land and miles of hiking trails taking you to the Appalachian Trail at Deep Gap and to mountain tops like Standing Indian. The home is a completely rebuilt, circa 1940s cabin (approx. 1500 sq ft, 2BD/2BTH) transformed into an Appalachian-style jewel box. The structure features breathtaking 200+ year old, hand-hewn Eastern hemlock beams. Seller has other adjacent property that he will consider selling.
