Public Remarks: Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own one of the largest private tracts along the Tennessee/North Carolina border, featuring over a mile of frontage on one of the nation's premier whitewater rivers. This extraordinary property directly borders Cherokee National Forest and the Appalachian Trail, offering unmatched access to protected wilderness and recreation. Spanning almost 400 acres, the land showcases multiple elevated build sites with breathtaking long-range mountain views. Miles of established trails wind through mature forest, creating endless opportunities for hiking, riding, and exploring. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of bear, elk, deer, and wild turkey. Enjoy a variety of water features, including a spring-fed mountain lake ideal for fishing, as well as direct access to world-class fly fishing in the adjacent river. The property also features multiple waterfalls, adding to its natural beauty and sense of seclusion. A scenic fenced mountain meadow offers additional sweeping views and is well-suited for horses or livestock, along with a smaller meadow and feeding paddock. Infrastructure is already in place, including two septic systems, well water, power, and fiber optic high-speed internet - a rare combination for a property of this scale and privacy. Notably, the property has been recognized and earmarked as a high-priority conservation opportunity, having been included in a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) proposal package with support from Cherokee National Forest, The Tennessee Congressional Delegation, local government, and multiple conservation groups including The Conservation Fund and The Nature Conservancy. The property owners spent 18 months lining up this property for conservation - working diligently with conservation groups to ultimately see this land protected as an expansion of the Cherokee National Forest to one day be enjoyed by all. Although the acquisition was delayed due to federal funding constraints, this distinction underscores the property's unique ecological value and long-term potential. This property may one day fall under conservation again should assurances from the conservation organizations improve, but until then, it is up for private sale. This listing includes 6 parcels: 121 005.01; 129 007.06; 121 031.01; 129 009.01; 130 001.00; 121 031.09 The adjacent property is also available through a separate MLS listing # offering the potential to assemble over 500 acres of some of the most pristine mountain land in the region. A truly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in the heart of the Southern Appalachians.
