Property description
Set on 17.77 private acres bordering the Nantahala National Forest, this exceptional Highlands estate offers a rare combination of luxury living, premier equestrian amenities, and unmatched outdoor recreation. Widely regarded as one of the area's finest horse properties, the estate features approximately seven acres of four-rail fenced pastures, full stables, and endless opportunities for riding in a spectacular mountain setting. The main residence offers six bedrooms and five-and-one-half baths with sweeping views of the property's picturesque grounds. A beautifully restored century-old guest house with two bedrooms and two baths provides comfortable accommodations for family and guests while preserving its historic character. Designed for those who appreciate an active outdoor lifestyle, the estate also features a professionally managed bass-stocked lake, two additional ponds, a boathouse, gazebo, dog kennel, and a professional trap range.
