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 Southern Nantahala Wilderness at 2800 feet elevation. While the property parcel itself is less than an acre, it boasts rare ownership of **both sides of the Tallulah River** and shares a common boundary with the Southern Nantahala Wilderness, providing an absolute sanctuary of unparalleled privacy, seclusion, and raw nature. Enjoy end-of-road privacy bordering the wilderness area and pristine, direct TROUT stream frontage. For buyers seeking a larger footprint, the owner also has additional adjacent land with existing structures that can be purchased in tandem with this property to create an ultimate mountain compound. The main residence is a completely rebuilt, circa 1940s cabin (approx. 1,500 sq ft, 2BD/2BTH) transformed into an Appalachian-style jewel box, sitting literally only a few steps from the river's edge as well as US Forest Land and miles of hiking trails taking you to the Appalachian Trail at Deep Gap and Standing Indian Mountain. The home features breathtaking 200+ year-old, hand-hewn Eastern hemlock beams, custom heart pine cabinetry from repurposed cotton mill floorboards, and a pre-Civil War Antebellum brick kitchen backsplash. Over 100 tons of local basin river rock stone are integrated throughout, including retaining walls, the foundation surround, a towering stone fireplace built with prehistoric valley river basin boulders, and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired patios. The property also features a riverside hot tub, an outdoor stacked stone fireplace/smoker, an artesian well, a screened sleeping porch, and a deep, private swimming hole accessed via your own custom swinging bridge.
