About this home

202 Emerald Lane has been repositioned in the market to present, arguably, one of the most compelling turnkey estates in Western North Carolina. All inspections have been completed, warranties are in place, and the property delivers a clean, low-friction path to closing. Seller is committed to a straightforward transaction and prepared to move quickly with a qualified buyer. At 3,400’ in elevation, 202 Emerald Lane is a refined mountain estate offering stunning views, coveted southern exposure, natural cool breezes, and fully furnished luxury. Accessed by just two gentle turns off a state-maintained road, the property combines easy arrival with true mountain privacy. The main level delivers elegantly comfortable single-level living, while the flexible layout easily accommodates gatherings of family and friends. A separate guest house provides a retreat within a retreat—ideal for extended family, visitors, home office use, or flexible living arrangements. The home is priced substantially below a recent independent, certified appraisal of the real property, making its value proposition as attractive as its elegance. The property includes a comprehensive furniture and amenity package, allowing immediate enjoyment and seamless transition for new ownership. For added peace of mind, the seller is providing a transferable 3-year total home warranty, including roof and stucco coverage. Importantly, the property has no rental restrictions, offering flexibility for personal use, investment, or mixed-use ownership. The luxury destination, Cataloochee Ranch, awaits moments away, as does Cataloochee Ski Resort. Spontaneously enjoy dining, shopping, hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, and Harrah’s Cherokee Casino (15 miles). Asheville is an easy drive, while Maggie Valley and Waynesville beckon with nearby nostalgia. Included in the offering is an additional 0.82-acre lot with well and two-bedroom septic installed, providing future flexibility for expansion, a pool, or even an additional residence.
