Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, luxury mountain retreat, or investment opportunity, this one-of-a-kind property delivers an unforgettable lifestyle. Imagine waking each morning, opening the sliding glass doors from your bedroom, and being greeted by the soothing sound of the Tuckasegee River flowing just steps away. Enjoy your morning coffee with the river as your backdrop, spend the day casting a line into one of Western North Carolina's premier trout fishing destinations, and end your evenings around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. It's the kind of setting most people only dream about. Designed for entertaining, the outdoor living spaces are just as impressive as the home itself. The covered outdoor living room, complete with electricity, creates an inviting space to relax, dine, and gather with family and friends. A beautifully finished outdoor bathhouse with a flush toilet and sink provides added convenience for guests. Inside, the River Cottage showcases remarkable craftsmanship with reclaimed doors, shutters, and windows sourced from Italy and France. Many of the wood planks and live-edge accents were locally milled in nearby Cashiers, while antique American treasures—including stunning stained-glass windows from Tennessee—add warmth and character throughout. The three distinctive cupolas atop the barn even serve as functional birdhouses, a thoughtful detail that reflects the property's unique charm. The impressive 40' x 60' x 12' barn features a 12' x 16' overhead door, offering exceptional space for RVs, boats, vehicles, a workshop, or all your recreational toys. Adding even more value, the home's roof was replaced last year, providing peace of mind for years to come. This is more than a home—it's a place where the sound of the river becomes part of your daily life. Whether you're seeking world-class trout fishing, peaceful mountain living, or an unforgettable retreat to share with family and friends, this exceptional Tuckasegee River property is truly one of a kind.
