About this House

Mountain-Top Retreat with Breathtaking Nantahala Views | 2BR | 2BA | Bonus Room | 3,400+ Ft Elevation
Escape the noise and experience mountain living at its finest. Perched at over 3,400 feet in elevation, this beautifully maintained retreat offers breathtaking long-range views of the Nantahala Mountains, including nearby Lake Nantahala, one of North Carolina's most beautiful high-elevation lakes. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or investment property, this home delivers the privacy, scenery, and mountain lifestyle buyers dream about.
Situated on approximately 0.78 acres in the desirable Whispering Springs HOA, the journey home is part of the experience. A paved road leads into the community before transitioning to gravel, winding through mature hardwoods to this peaceful mountaintop retreat surrounded by native mountain forest.
Inside, you'll immediately appreciate the warmth and character of a true mountain cabin. Natural wood finishes flow throughout the home, while a beautiful wood-burning fireplace anchors the spacious living room, creating the perfect gathering place on cool mountain evenings. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room ideal for guests, a home office, hobby space, or additional sleeping accommodations.
Both upstairs bedrooms feature private balconies, offering 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. Step outside to the expansive L-shaped deck, where the large covered section provides year-round outdoor living for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings.
Just beyond the deck, a scenic fire pit overlooks Lambert Mountain, creating an unforgettable setting for evening gatherings, storytelling, and spectacular mountain sunsets. A detached storage building offers plenty of room for tools, lawn equipment, seasonal decorations, and outdoor gear.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love everything this location has to offer. Lake Nantahala is just minutes away, offering boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and crystal-clear mountain waters. The nearby Nantahala River is nationally known for world-class trout fishing and exciting whitewater rafting. Within 30 minutes you'll find numerous mountain peaks, scenic overlooks, waterfalls, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and miles of hiking throughout the Nantahala National Forest, including the renowned Appalachian Trail and historic Bartram Trail. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is approximately 20 miles away, while the charming town of Franklin is about 23 miles, offering shopping, restaurants, breweries, medical facilities, and everyday conveniences.
Whether you're purchasing your first mountain home, seeking a peaceful retirement retreat, or investing in a vacation property, 259 Laurel Lane offers the rare opportunity to own a 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."

    "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."
