Property Description

RARE RETREAT & HOSPITALITY OPPORTUNITY | 16 ACRES | SIX CABINS | SECOND BROAD RIVER | WATERFALL VIEWS An exceptional Western North Carolina retreat and recreational property where historic character, water features, accommodations and gathering spaces come together. Situated on approximately 16 acres along the Second Broad River, this distinctive property includes an approximately 4,200-SF main residence, six insulated sleeper cabins, approximately 800-SF bathhouse, 20’ x 40’ heated saltwater pool, waterfall views and extensive outdoor recreational areas. The property provides an extraordinary environment for fishing, kayaking, swimming, hiking, exploring trails, enjoying the river and gathering with family, friends or groups. The combination of Second Broad River frontage, waterfall views, trails, pool, cabins and gathering areas creates a unique recreational setting with numerous possibilities for an experienced owner/operator. Approximately $500,000 in improvements have been made since 2025, including six cabins, bathhouse, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, septic, landscaping, fencing, security gate and pool improvements. Seller reports permits and inspections associated with numerous improvements. The property currently has an established retreat operation, with approximately 15 beds/10 rooms (6 bedrooms & 5 1/2 bath in the main home), six cabins and infrastructure designed to accommodate guests and gatherings. An established business entity and related operation may be available for transfer, subject to mutually acceptable terms. With its historic residence, Second Broad River setting, waterfall views, recreational amenities, extensive improvements and proximity to Forest City and regional Western North Carolina markets, this is a highly unusual opportunity for an experienced investor or operator.
