About this home

Own a rare slice of paradise with 240 feet of private frontage on the highly sought-after Delayed Harvest waters of Shelton Laurel River. Spanning nearly 6 unrestricted-feeling acres, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of adventure, privacy, and flexibility. Enjoy exclusive access to the river for trout fishing, tubing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water, plus an additional 2.5-acre community riverfront common area just upstream. Whether you're dreaming of a mountain getaway, short-term rental investment, or future cabin build, this property is ready to go. Light restrictions allow for a minimum 700 sq ft build and even permit camper use up to 6 months per year—ideal for hassle-free weekends in the mountains. A gated keypad entrance adds peace of mind, while a 2-bedroom perc permit is already on file. Electricity and high-speed internet are available at the driveway, and low annual POA fees cover road and common area maintenance. Explore the property’s existing roughed-in hiking trails, complete with color-coded trail markers, benches and fire pits, or venture out to nearby outdoor destinations including the Laurel River Trail just minutes away and the Appalachian Trail only 12 minutes from your doorstep. The charming town of Hot Springs is a quick 15-minute drive for dining, shopping, and soaking in local mountain culture. With seasonal mountain and river views, endless recreation, and short-term rentals allowed, this is the kind of property buyers wait years to find.
