About this home

Perched on a private five-acre promontory overlooking the Little Tennessee River, EagleWatch Mountain Retreat offers a special opportunity on the market! The property is currently operating as a short-term rental and small event venue, offering an established rental history for a new owner to build upon. The views are truly incredible, showcasing 270-degree views of the distant, layered mountain ridges. The distinctive property features four structures, anchored by a Mediterranean-style main villa with exposed beams and other unique architectural details, an open floor plan, and expansive outdoor living spaces. The four-bedroom, three-bath main home includes an inviting living and dining area that flows onto a wraparound deck. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexibility, while the upper-level primary suite features a jetted tub and private retreat, and a loft currently functions as a fourth bedroom. A separate guest house with a modern design provides an additional bedroom, full kitchen, bath, and spacious decks. The property also includes a heated and cooled game room with a full bathroom, a yurt offering additional sleeping accommodations, two hot tubs, and thoughtful landscaping. The location near Bryson City, Nantahala Outdoor Center, the Little Tennessee River, Lake Fontana, and more feels tucked away, yet very convenient. All considered, this distinctive property presents a compelling opportunity for continued rental use, or make it a stunning private mountain retreat.
