Welcome to this gorgeous new home in the highly desirable Catawba River Club, a private gated community where beautiful homes, open pastures, the Catawba River and the Blue Ridge foothills come together to create an exceptional lifestyle. This thoughtfully designed new construction sits on a beautiful homesite that backs directly to the community pastures, offering a picturesque rural setting and the unique opportunity to enjoy horses right outside your back door. The experience and craftsmanship developed through building multi-million-dollar luxury homes has been thoughtfully brought into this build, with an emphasis on premium materials, quality construction and elevated details throughout. For the equestrian enthusiast, the possibilities are especially exciting. With an appropriate future barn, you can envision keeping your own horse on your property, or take advantage of the community’s equestrian facilities, where stalls are available for lease for an additional fee. The equestrian center features a 16-stall stable, pastures and paddocks, riding facilities and designated riding trails along the Catawba River. Imagine stepping outside each morning to views of horses grazing in the pasture and enjoying a community where the equestrian lifestyle is truly part of the character. Inside, premium details and thoughtful upgrades are found throughout, including 2x6 exterior wall construction, enhanced insulation, spray-foam insulation at the roof deck, and two dedicated heat-pump HVAC systems serving each floor. Energy-efficient Low-E windows, smart thermostats, LED recessed lighting, a tankless gas water heater and a sealed crawlspace with dedicated dehumidification add comfort and efficiency. The interior features engineered French oak hardwood flooring, 8-foot solid-wood interior doors, real pine trim, custom built-in closet systems, quartz countertops and custom steel interior railings. The kitchen is especially impressive with a Thermador professional appliance package, while designer accent lighting and a dedicated beverage center with an undercounter refrigerator and LED-lit shelving add style and functionality. A 54-inch linear gas fireplace creates a dramatic living-room focal point, and the spacious rear screened-in porch provides an inviting extension of the living space for relaxing and entertaining. Additional thoughtful features include a premium insulated carriage-house style garage door, wall-mounted Wi-Fi garage door opener with battery backup, epoxy-flake garage flooring, smart-home infrastructure, and an integrated security system with video doorbell and exterior cameras. Oversized windows and 8-foot exterior door openings bring abundant natural light inside while enhancing views of the surrounding landscape. Catawba River Club offers far more than its equestrian amenities. Residents enjoy a peaceful, gated setting with miles of wooded and riverfront trails for walking, hiking and horseback riding, a scenic community pond, and multiple opportunities for river access. The Catawba River provides a beautiful backdrop for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and relaxing along the water. With more than 55 acres of common area incorporated into the community’s natural setting, there is an abundance of room to enjoy the outdoors.

A truly rare offering along the Catawba River, this remarkable approximately 109+/-acre tract presents an exceptional opportunity for both estate buyers and long-term land investors seeking privacy, water frontage, and scale in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable natural corridors. Properties of this size with direct river frontage are increasingly scarce, making this tract a standout acquisition for those who understand the long-term value of land. The property offers an impressive combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and versatility. Predominantly wooded with logging roads already in place, the land provides a private and peaceful setting ideal for a luxury estate, generational family compound, or recreational retreat, while still offering meaningful upside for investors looking to land-bank or hold a unique riverfront asset. The expansive acreage allows for multiple potential homesites, trails, and recreational uses without sacrificing privacy or views. The Catawba River frontage adds a distinctive and irreplaceable element—offering scenic views, natural buffers, and recreational enjoyment such as kayaking, fishing, and wildlife observation. Riverfront land of this scale provides not only lifestyle appeal, but also long-term intrinsic value that is increasingly difficult to replicate due to environmental protections and limited supply. There are no known easements, encroachments, or conservation restrictions currently affecting the property, and no known severance of timber, mineral, or development rights, allowing future owners flexibility in how the land is utilized. A survey/plat is available, with acreage reported at approximately 109 acres, supporting clarity for due diligence and planning. Utilities such as electric service, water access, cable, and high-speed internet are available nearby, enhancing the feasibility of estate development while maintaining the property’s rural character. As typical with land of this nature, septic evaluations should be completed during the buyer’s due diligence period. Whether you are an estate buyer seeking a once-in-a-generation riverfront setting or an investor recognizing the long-term value of large-acreage Catawba River land, this property delivers a rare blend of privacy, water frontage, and future potential. Opportunities like this are increasingly limited—secure your position in one of the region’s most enduring natural assets.
