Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This generational mountain estate totals 35+/- recreational acres and is offered as a multi-parcel property with flexibility for multiple uses. Three parcels make up the acreage offering, with the southwest corner joining the Pisgah National Forest boundary. Access is provided by a recorded easement road from the end of pavement on Watagnee Trail, and fresh gravel was placed in May 2026.
The property is currently improved with an original 800-square-foot brick cabin near the entry atop a three-acre open field. The cabin includes open quad bunks, a full bathroom, full kitchen, a functional wood-burning fireplace, and all-electric power service, along with well and septic. It has been winterized annually during colder months while previously operating as the historic Lion Tamer Hunting Lodge of Mills River.
Opposite the main cabin, an expansive open-air barn provides weather-safe storage for equipment and includes a kitchenette room and an enclosed storage room. Additional outbuildings include smaller wood and tractor barns along the upper road, plus a 256-square-foot tiny home built in 2024 with a full bathroom and raised sleeping loft. The upper field contains 3 cleared acres of gentle hillside, with headwater streams daylighting at least three locations on the property. Showings are by appointment only, and the property is not visible from the road, with no drive-by access.
