Enter into a home unlike any other in Western North Carolina, where reclaimed history and forward-thinking design come together on a private two-acre homestead at 4,320 feet. Wrapped on every side by conservation land, with western views that stretch toward the horizon and shift with the light all day long, this is a home that feels less built than discovered, as if from the mountain itself. At the heart of the home is its reclaimed sinker cypress, found throughout the structural timbers and beyond. Recovered from river bottoms by the legendary "swamp men," whose work has been featured on the History Channel, this cypress spent more than a century submerged in water before being rediscovered. That century underwater transformed the wood, giving it a density, color, durability and richness that simply cannot be replicated and a story that few homes can tell. Douglas fir, heart pine and cypress carry that craftsmanship to the siding, soffits, fascia, trim, doors, floors and porches, while reclaimed white oak cabinetry and high-end Marvin window sash frames continue it inside. Locally sourced mica, feldspar and quartz form the rock walls, sidewalks and exterior stone features that root the home firmly in its mountain setting. This is also one of the most thoughtfully engineered homes you will find anywhere in the region. LEED Gold Certified and Energy Star Qualified, it runs on a sophisticated geothermal and solar thermal system providing radiant floor heat and domestic hot water, supported by a south-facing solar PV and hot water collector grid with an inverter. An ERV fresh air system keeps indoor air exceptionally clean, rainwater harvesting sustains the landscaping and an EcoShake roof of recycled wood shake shingles reinforced with vinyl and cellulose fiber tops it all off. Should the grid ever go down, a whole-home Generac generator, bedroom LP heatilators, a floor-to-ceiling wood burning fireplace, a pellet stove and a manual wellhead pump ensure the home keeps running without interruption. Four ensuite bedrooms, a private office, an exercise room, a cedar sauna, a wine cellar, an elevator and a dog shower round out a layout built for comfort and everyday life, while thoughtful accessibility features, including an ingress and egress ramp, elevator access to all floors and a curbless shower, make this home as livable as it is beautiful. Upstairs, the guest suites open onto Juliet balconies, framing the views from the moment you wake. Go outside and the experience continues. A screened porch with a built-in grill, a screened deck, an outdoor shower, an outdoor fireplace and a stone and brick paver veranda overlook a rare flat, fenced backyard and a sprawling terrace level made for gathering. A fully functional professional greenhouse rounds out the grounds, ready for whatever you choose to grow. Above the garage, a newly renovated ensuite guest suite offers a private retreat for visitors, while the terrace level features a beautifully appointed second kitchen, newly completed by Clark and Leatherwood, opening the door to true multigenerational living. All of this sits within Balsam Mountain Preserve, one of Western North Carolina's most acclaimed mountain communities. Thousands of acres of protected forestland, miles of hiking trails, an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, an equestrian center, a wellness center and a clubhouse with fine dining and panoramic views await just beyond your door, alongside a vibrant calendar of community life built around conservation and connection. This is a home that must be experienced in person to be fully understood and once you do, it is impossible to forget.

IMPROVED PRICE! Dreaming of a mountain cabin on the water with plenty of room for a garden and room for a few rental units for extra money? Want convenience to shopping, restaurants, schools and paved road access? How about all of that and water, sewer, state maintained roads? This is your opportunity! Exceptional river frontage property offering in the mountains of western North Carolina! This level 1.67 acre parcel with a cabin overlooking the river features 400 feet of frontage on the beautiful Tuckaseegee River, popularly referred to as "The Tuck". Featured as a primary river for rainbow trout dry fly fishing, the Tuck is a year round outdoor recreation destination. Ideally positioned in Dillsboro area on North River Road (NCSR 1359) and just off US23/441, the primary north/south roading leading from Atlanta to Cherokee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Asheville area. Dillsboro is the intersection of 23/441 and US 74, the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway. The property's location combines easy accessibility with privacy in a scenic setting along the river but features water and sewer served by the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer with four (4) taps in place. The parcel's flat topography, expansive river frontage and generous road frontage creates a compelling canvas for a boutique lodge, riverfront nursery, curated short-term rental concept or private estate. The choices are unlimited. While the property adjoins both of the towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, there is no zoning, allowing a broad range of residential options and affordability with no municipal taxes! Present uses of the property include a park model rental which has produced a substantial income in a modified short term rental (3 months and longer). The owners have a two bedroom, two bath cabin overlooking the river and features a covered porch with hot tub overlooking the river. The river frontage area has been terraced down to the river and is included in the flood plain but the great majority of the property is high enough not to be in the food plain. Hurricane Helene's heavy rains brought the water level up and into the terraced areas but did not encroach onto the level parts of the parcel! Opportunies offering this combination of infrastructure, road and river frontage, location and flexibility along the Tuckaseegee River are rare and this presents both a lifestyle asset and a compelling long-term investment.
