Description
4.55± Acres -- Turnkey Income Property with Views, Creek & Expansion Potential | Adjacent to Deerhills, Winding Stairs / Nantahala Area, Macon County, NC. Discover this rare opportunity to own a fully improved mountain retreat in the highly desirable Winding Stairs area of Nantahala -- with the infrastructure of wells, septic, power, and roads already in place, and income already flowing. This 4.55± acre property offers privacy, natural beauty, and the kind of flexibility that's hard to find in Western North Carolina: build your dream home, expand a rental portfolio, or launch a small campground -- the groundwork is already done. Access is through the Deerhills community via paved roads and locked gates, giving you the security and peace of mind of a gated setting -- yet this 4.55± acres carries no restrictions and no HOA, offering true flexibility for whatever you envision here. The property is served by a good flowing drilled well and a septic system already connected to two campers on site -- a 2017 camper in excellent condition, currently enrolled in a vacation rental program and generating income, and an older trailer that needs some love but adds even more upside for a buyer ready to expand. Multiple roads have been pushed through the property, opening up several additional building sites beyond the two already improved -- giving you a head start whether you're planning a family compound, a cluster of cabins, or a full multi-unit campground. A small, gentle creek flows along the bottom of the property, adding the soothing sound of running water to the peaceful mountain views found throughout the parcel. And just as with its Deerhills neighbors, you don't have to imagine what this land can become -- drive the surrounding roads and see how nearby owners have turned similar lots into charming mountain cottages and tiny homes tucked into the trees. This property takes that vision a step further, offering the roads, utilities, and income stream already in place. Unbeatable Nantahala Location..Few properties offer this level of access to the very best of Western North Carolina's outdoors. You're extremely close to Queens Lake, a peaceful, motor-free mountain lake perfect for paddleboarding, canoeing, and quiet mornings on the water. Nantahala Lake, one of the region's premier destinations for boating, fishing, and lake life, is just a short drive away. Adventure seekers will love being minutes from the Nantahala Gorge and the Nantahala River, home to some of the Southeast's best whitewater rafting, kayaking, and the Nantahala Outdoor Center. The property also sits close to the Appalachian Trail, offering endless opportunities for hiking, backpacking, and taking in sweeping mountain views. The surrounding Nantahala National Forest adds thousands of acres of protected wilderness, waterfalls, and trails right out your back door. For everyday convenience, downtown both Andrews and Franklin are a short drive away, offering shopping, dining, groceries, and small-town charm, while the broader region offers easy access to Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains, and other beloved WNC destinations. Whether you're searching for ready-made rental income with room to grow, a basecamp for a multi-unit getaway, or simply a private mountain retreat with a creek, views, and some of the best outdoor recreation in the Southeast at your doorstep, this 4.55± acre offering delivers rare, move-in-ready potential in one of Macon County's most sought-after areas.
