Property Description
A True Nantahala River Mountain Retreat Welcome to 89 Wilderness Drive, a beautiful mountain retreat tucked into Rainbow Springs, a private gated community nestled along the Upper Nantahala River in the heart of Western North Carolina. This is more than a home - it is an opportunity to own a piece of one of the region's most spectacular outdoor destinations. The Nantahala River is nationally recognized as one of Trout Unlimited's ''100 Best Trout Streams in America'', making this an exceptional setting for anglers and nature lovers alike. Above 3500', the River is known for its cold, clear mountain water and outstanding trout fishing, with opportunities to catch trophy sized rainbow, brown and brook trout. Set on 1.56 wooded acres, this spacious 2,420 s.f. home offers 3 bedrooms & 2.5 baths, providing plenty of room for family and friends. A welcoming fireplace adds warmth and character, while the spacious porches and deck invite you to enjoy mountain views and the sounds of the river nearby. The magic of Rainbow Springs is the setting, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, 3.5 miles of Nantahala River, as well as access to Nantahala Lake. Opportunities for fishing, kayaking, boating, hiking, wildlife watching and simply getting away from it all abound in this low density community. Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the porch, heading down to the river for a day of fishing, launching your boat on Nantahala Lake, or exploring the miles of mountain trails nearby. At the end of the day, return home to trout on the grill in the peace & privacy of your own mountain retreat. For the buyer who values privacy, pristine mountain surroundings, exceptional trout fishing, and direct access to some of Western North Carolina's best outdoor recreation, 89 Wilderness Drive is a rare opportunity. Come experience the beauty, privacy, cool mountain air, and extraordinary lifestyle of the Nantahala River for yourself.
