ABOUT
Property Information
Perched on 4.32 private acres with sweeping, west-facing long-range mountain views, Lookout Lodge is a rare offering in the gated community of Fontana Lake Estates. Watch the sun set over layered ridgelines from the screened porch, deck, or your private hot tub — then unwind by the fire pit
Custom designed and crafted by Yankee Barn Homes, this post-and-beam retreat features soaring exposed beams, high-end lighting, and refined finishes throughout. The main level offers true one-level living with a spacious primary suite complete with its own gas fireplace and a soaking tub, plus an open kitchen with a large island and breakfast bar for effortless entertaining. Two additional bedrooms, a loft room, and a full bath occupy the upper level, ideal for guests or family.
Below, a 1,000+ sqft daylight walk-out basement — already stubbed for a bath — offers a blank canvas for a bunk room, rec room, or guest suite, adding significant future value and flexibility.
Residents of Fontana Lake Estates enjoy lake access, picnic areas, and miles of walking trails — all within a short drive of downtown Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the Nantahala Gorge.
Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, Lookout Lodge offers a turnkey opportunity for investors — with an established guest history and strong repeat interest in the Bryson City vacation market. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain residence, a weekend escape, or a proven income-producing retreat.
