About this House

Mountain Living at Its Finest | 2BR | 2BA | with a Bonus Room | 3,400+ Ft Elevation | Mountain Views
Leave the noise behind and discover the peace that only the mountains can provide. Perched at over 3,400 feet in elevation, this beautifully maintained mountain retreat offers breathtaking views of NC Mountains, with towering ridgelines creates a stunning backdrop overlooking nearby Lake Nantahala. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an investment property, this home offers the privacy, scenery, and mountain lifestyle that so many dream about.
Situated on approximately 0.78 acres within the desirable Whispering Springs HOA, the drive home is part of the experience. A paved road leads into the community before transitioning to gravel as you wind your way to this secluded mountaintop retreat. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and native mountain forest, you'll enjoy the tranquility of nature with very little interruption from the outside world.

From the moment you step inside, you'll immediately appreciate the warm mountain cabin atmosphere. Natural wood finishes throughout the home create an inviting, rustic feel while still offering the comfort and functionality of a modern residence. The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, highlighted by a beautiful wood-burning fireplace that makes cool mountain evenings even more enjoyable.

Offering 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room, there's plenty of space for family, guests, or a dedicated office or hobby room. Both upstairs bedrooms feature their own private balconies, creating the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the surrounding mountains or unwind beneath a sky full of stars.

A large L-shaped deck wraps along the side and rear of the home, with the long section covered, providing comfortable outdoor living in every season. Whether you're grilling with friends, relaxing in a rocking chair, or simply listening to the sounds of nature, this space was designed to be enjoyed. Just beyond the deck, a thoughtfully placed fire pit area overlooks Lambert Mountain, offering an incredible setting for evening fires, storytelling, and unforgettable mountain sunsets.

A secure outdoor storage building provides ample room for lawn equipment, tools, seasonal decorations, and outdoor gear.
Outdoor enthusiasts will quickly appreciate everything this location has to offer. Lake Nantahala, one of North Carolina's most beautiful mountain lakes and the second-highest elevation lake in the state, is just minutes away. Known for its crystal-clear waters, excellent boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing, it's one of Western North Carolina's hidden gems. The nearby Nantahala River, famous nationwide for its cold, crystal-clear waters, offers world-class trout fishing along with some of the best whitewater rafting in the Southeast.
Adventure continues in every direction. Within 30 minutes you'll find six prominent mountain peaks, countless scenic overlooks, waterfalls, and endless opportunities for hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, photography, and wildlife viewing throughout the Nantahala National Forest. The legendary Appalachian Trail and historic Bartram Trail are both nearby, offering miles of some of the most celebrated hiking trails in the country. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is only about 20 miles away, while the charming town of Franklin is approximately 23 miles, providing shopping, restaurants, breweries, medical facilities, and everyday conveniences.
Whether you're purchasing your first home, looking for a peaceful retirement retreat, or searching for the perfect mountain getaway to create lasting family memories, 259 Laurel Lane delivers an authentic Western North Carolina mountain lifestyle that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
This is more than a home--it's an opportunity to own your own private piece of the Nantahala Mountains.

    "Amazing place for dogs. We have two English mastiffs and they love walking the trails, running around our property, and greeting visitors. There is wildlife but nothing I worry about as far as the dogs are concerned."

    "Close to public boat launch, lakes end marina and national Forest. "

    "My husband and I built this house in 2001, and enjoyed being here so much, we moved here permanently in 2005. When you drive onto the mountain road that comes into our neighborhood, it's like your body breathes a sigh of relief. It's quiet, peaceful, the air is clean, the scenery breathtaking. There isn't a lot of traffic and what traffic there is, is slow-paced. This is a perfect place for walking, kayaking, fishing, boating, hiking, and rafting, and for just sitting on the porch with a good book. My husband works out of the house and has a long-range view of the lake and mountains from his desk. He travels some, and can fly out of Asheville, Knoxville, Charlotte, and Atlanta. There is a regional airport about 12 miles from the house, the Western Carolina Regional Airport, with a 5,500 ft. runway. There is shopping in Andrews, 12 miles from the house, and major stores, Walmart and Lowe's in the neighboring town of Murphy. There are restaurants and coffee shops in Andrews, with even more in Murphy. There are several colleges in the area: Tri County Community College, Young Harris College, and Western Carolina University. "

    "We work and live here. Nantahala Lake is a pristinely clean mountain lake. It's very quiet and peaceful, though only 20 minutes rom town. We're close to areas for rafting, boating ( we're right on the lake), hiking (Appalachian Trail,)and craft schools (John C. Campbell Folk School.)You an be as secluded as you want or as involved in area events as you like. We can walk on the surrounding mountain roads with our dog, with him off the lesh, as there's not too much traffic, and.. life is slower paced here, so we don't have cars speeding through the neighborhood. When you enter the road to our neighborhood, it's like your body breathes a sigh of relief, and your blood pressure lowers. I work out of the house, with full high speed internet and a booster for cell phone service, in addition to my business line. When I'm at work, I'm sitting at my desk, looking at a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding mountains. This is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place in which to live."
