Land with Home for Sale in Nantahala, North Carolina
1651 Winding Stairs Rd, Nantahala, NC 28781
Imagine stepping onto a breathtaking 140.89-acre unrestricted mountain estate in beautiful Nantahala NC. Fresh mountain air mingled w/wildflowers greets you, as gentle waves lap the shores of a private stocked pond. Dip your fingers in cool water, cast a line & watch fish leap under sparkling sunlight reflections. In the 2024 built barndominium (2,229 sq ft, 3 beds, 2.5 baths) sunlight floods an open floor plan, framing serene pond & mountain vistas. A lovely, stacked stone fireplace crackles invitingly; the kitchen & dining area enhances every meal with peaceful views. A main-level primary suite provides quiet luxury; two upstairs bedrooms, bonus loft room, & a full bath complete the cozy home. +/-15 acres of fenced pasture is ideal for horses grazing. Own 25-30 acres of wooded ridge line in deep greens and shadowy blues feature peaceful trails winding through the trees. Rolling hills & open views offer stunning mountain views shifting from misty dawn purples to vibrant autumn crimsons. Screened patio & covered porch extend living outdoors-feel the soft evening air, hear frogs chorus at dusk, watch fireflies dance over rippling lake. Complementing the main houses is the rustic "old charmer" guest house (4 beds, 1 bath), exuding nostalgic warmth-perfect for family, guests, or creative escapes. Outbuildings enrich the estate: barn with hay loft, attached chicken pen, equipment shed, new storage building, livestock sheds, plus a garden-all nestled naturally. Abundant wildlife (deer, bear, turkey & squirrels) affirms true mountain serenity, with trails for hiking, 4wheeling, and adventure near Nantahala National Forest, the Nantahala River rapids, & the pristine Nantahala Lake. This rare gem awakens every sense: chill pond water, whispering ancient trees, homegrown bounty, profound starlit peace. Awaken to misty mornings, harvest under vast skies, gather by crackling fire. Not just property-a full-sensory immersion in NC's wild heart. Schedule your private tour today!
