508 Wilderness Lake Circle

Tucked away in one of the most private & peaceful corners of Cherokee County, this incredible lakefront retreat overlooking Apalachia Lake feels like a hidden mountain sanctuary. Surrounded by the beauty of the Nantahala National Forest & located in a gated community w/ very little shoreline development, this is the kind of place that is getting harder & harder to find. Quiet mornings, cool mountain air, eagles soaring across the water & long range lake & mountain views in nearly every direction make this one of my personal favorite spots in our area. The home was designed to soak in the setting w/ massive covered & open-air decking wrapping around the house, giving you front row seats to the lake from sunrise to sunset. Whether you are gathered around the firepit overlooking the water, relaxing on the covered porch during a summer rain, or sitting inside by the soaring stone fireplace, the connection to the outdoors is everywhere. Inside you will find a warm & welcoming mountain style w/ vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, rustic finishes, beautiful natural light, & an open floor plan perfect for entertaining family & friends. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large work island, & flows easily into the dining & living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lake & mountain views while the wood burning fireplace anchors the great room perfectly. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a full unfinished basement w? tremendous expansion potential, there is plenty of room to grow whether you are looking for a full-time residence, luxury mountain getaway, or multi-generational retreat. Apalachia Lake is known for its cool deep water, incredible fishing, kayaking, canoeing, & natural beauty. With very limited commercial development & protected surroundings, it still feels wild & untouched compared to so many mountain lake communities today. Spend your days fishing for smallmouth bass, paddling the shoreline or hiking nearby trails.
