Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. One of the last large lakefront parcels on Wolf Creek Lake, this peninsula property extends into the water, offering approximately 1,400 feet of lake frontage and unobstructed views across the lake and mountains in three directions. Wolf Lake is a low-density, privately intimate body of water — made more so by the approximately 12,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land that borders much of its shoreline. The result is a setting defined by quiet, wildlife, and an absence of the density that characterizes most lakefront real estate. Bald eagles, otters, wild turkey, and deer move through the surrounding land; the lake holds trout, walleye, crappie, bluegill, and both smallmouth and largemouth bass. The parcel carries no community restrictions, allowing a buyer to build to their own vision. Two permitted boat docks are in place. A Nantahala Power easement exists for access roads related to riparian rights. A property of this scale, on a lake of this character, with this orientation — three-directional water and mountain views from a true peninsula — has no ready comparison.
