Post and Beam, Rustic

You’ve been waiting for the right property in the right community. This is it. Lookout Lodge sits on 4.32 private acres within Fontana Lake Estates — one of Western North Carolina's most exclusive gated communities, where properties regularly trade between $1M and $3M. At $950,000, this custom Yankee Barn Home represents a rare opportunity to enter this enclave at the lower end of the market, without compromising on the views, craftsmanship, or privacy that define it. Perched atop Nantahala Ridge, the home delivers west-facing, long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains that are as dramatic in January as they are in October. Post-and-beam architecture, exposed timber beams, soaring ceilings and a great room fireplace were designed to frame that view from every angle. The property lives large: 3 BRs, 3 baths, a main level primary suite, upper loft bedrooms and an unfinished walkout basement — plus a 3-car garage. Outside, a private spa/hot tub, fire pit and screened deck make this a four-season retreat in the truest sense. No neighbors in sight. Currently operating as a successful STR, Lookout Lodge is a turnkey income producer — or the personal mountain legacy home you've been waiting for. Community amenities include gated access, Fontana Lake access, walking trails and picnic areas. Charlotte: 2.5 hrs. Asheville: 1 hrs. Atlanta: 2.5 hrs. Downtown Bryson City, the Nantahala River and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are minutes away.
