565 Silver Ridge, Bryson City, NC 28713 - Swain County

Tucked away in the trees, this custom home rests on 17.4 private acres with sweeping views that stretch from Queens Lake, across the Nantahala Gorge, and over the Lake Fontana basin. Designed and built under the guidance of renowned builder Bill Baxter, every detail reflects a thoughtful balance of comfort and design. Living here feels like being in the treetops, with glass along one wall and strategically placed windows that invite both light and mountain vistas. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from the main living space to the bedroom and office, anchored by a striking stone hearth with fireplace and wood stove. The master bath features a private sauna, and throughout the home you'll find custom stonework adding texture and character. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a koi pond, stone terraced garden areas, and a deck inset designed for a wood-fired hot tub. Practical amenities include a ground-floor garage with an electric dumbwaiter for firewood, hydronic floor heating on the main level, and subtle access to a rooftop seating area with even broader views. Enjoy end-of-the-road privacy, direct proximity to Nantahala National Forest, and unlimited natural beauty.
