A premier fly-fishing destination, this turn-key, fully furnished riverfront retreat offers deeded access to the privately stocked waters of Rainbow Springs along the Nantahala River. Step outside and cast into some of Western North Carolina's most sought-after trout waters, where quiet mornings and rising fish set the pace of life. Custom-built with classic mountain character, the cabin blends rustic elegance with peaceful seclusion, surrounded by towering hardwoods and the soothing rhythm of the river. The home features two bedrooms, a bonus room, and two full baths, along with an open-concept living and kitchen area designed for comfort and connection. Covered upper and lower decks provide ideal spaces for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of the river. Bordered by U.S. Forest Service land, Rainbow Springs offers exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and direct access to outdoor recreation. Ideally located between Franklin and Hayesville, the property balances seclusion with convenience. The property sustained no damage from Hurricane Helene. A rare opportunity for a private fly-fishing retreat, second home, or investment property in WNC
