118 unrestricted acres bordering the US National Forest with stunning long-range mountain views, rushing Snowbird Creek frontage, a private fishing pond fed by natural springs, usable flat land, and an off-grid mountain cabin perched high above the Andrews Valley--this is the kind of legacy property that rarely reaches the market. A truly rare opportunity in Western North Carolina, this extraordinary estate offers an unmatched blend of privacy, natural beauty, self-sufficient living, and development potential. Towering ridges, rolling valleys, pristine forest, rushing water, and multiple build sites create the perfect setting for a private retreat, family compound, hunting property, eco-tourism venture, or legacy investment. Perched high atop the mountain sits a well-built, off-grid 3BR/2BA cabin with breathtaking views stretching deep into the Snowbird Wilderness. Designed for comfort year-round, the home features wood-burning stoves, a fireplace, mini-split system, sauna, workout room, abundant storage, garage space for side-by-sides and equipment, a double carport, and an additional storage building. The cabin operates on solar power with a propane generator backup, while Duke Energy power is available nearby if desired. The land itself is exceptional, featuring approximately 600 feet of crystal-clear Snowbird Creek frontage with multiple build sites along the water and usable flat land ideal for expansion. Snowbird Creek grows into a river shortly downstream and is considered some of the best trout water in Western North Carolina. A natural spring system on the property forms its own creek feeding directly into a private fishing pond, creating a peaceful setting filled with the sounds of rushing water and wildlife. Trails throughout the property are ideal for hiking, horseback riding, or ATV exploration while adjoining thousands of acres of protected National Forest land. With very few restrictions and absolutely no zoning, don't miss out on this rare find.
