Description
Welcome to Big Foot Trail, an extraordinary mountain estate where handcrafted luxury, unmatched privacy, and exceptional investment potential come together on 13.32 acres in the heart of Western North Carolina. Just minutes from Cataloochee Valley, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and only 10 minutes to I-40, this remarkable Red Cedar log home offers over 4,000 square feet of timeless craftsmanship surrounded by rushing creeks, towering hardwoods, open pasture, and peaceful mountain beauty. From the moment you arrive, you'll discover a property unlike any other. Expansive covered porches wrap around nearly every side of the home, inviting you to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. A charming footbridge crosses the creek, offering the perfect place to pause, explore, and enjoy the peaceful setting. Inside, the breathtaking great room is anchored by soaring 23-foot ceilings, massive timber beams, and walls of glass that fill the home with natural light. Built for both comfort and efficiency, the home features poured concrete walls, spray foam insulation, and two soapstone wood stoves that provide exceptional year-round energy performance. The spacious main level primary suite opens directly onto the covered porch overlooking the pond and cascading waterfalls, creating a private retreat unlike any other. The luxurious primary bath features an oversized custom tile shower and an expansive dressing room. An open concept kitchen with breakfast bar flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, making entertaining effortless. A guest bedroom, additional baths, flexible bonus room, and an expansive finished lower level provide incredible versatility for recreation, hobbies, media space, or additional guest accommodations. Step outside to experience what truly sets this property apart. Wander beside the creek, enjoy the pond with its charming waterfall feature, relax around the fire pit, or explore the beautiful mix of pasture and mature forest. A freshwater spring, old barn, and separate bonus cabin create even more possibilities for personal enjoyment or flexible use as a caretaker's cottage, studio, or private office. For buyers seeking more than just a home, this property presents an exciting opportunity. The 13.32-acre tract offers privacy and usable terrain with potential for future expansion, while an additional 30-plus adjoining acres may also be available separately. With its separate access points and varied topography, the additional acreage could provide opportunities for expanded recreational use or future hospitality concepts, including luxury cabins, treehouse accommodations, glamping sites, or a private mountain retreat, subject to buyer due diligence, permitting, and county approvals. Perfectly positioned near the entrance to Cataloochee Valley, one of the most sought-after destinations within Great Smoky Mountains National Park known for its elk, hiking, and scenic beauty, this exceptional property places outdoor adventure at your doorstep while remaining conveniently accessible to Interstate 40, Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you're searching for an extraordinary private mountain estate, a multigenerational retreat, or a one-of-a-kind investment with room to grow, Big Foot Trail is a rare offering where luxury, nature, and opportunity meet. Satellite internet is available. Furniture, tools, and four-wheelers are negotiable.
