Private Luxury. Iconic Design. Unmatched Setting. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own two extraordinary mountain properties, 291 & 295 Dills Road—offered together as a private Smoky Mountain compound at a compelling combined value. 295 Dills Road is one of the most architecturally iconic and storied estates in the Great Smoky Mountains. Originally built in 1985 for executives of the legendary Record Bar Company and crafted by renowned builder Bill Baxter, this remarkable circular residence was inspired by the shape of a vinyl record, centered around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Spanning over 6,500+ sq ft of total heated space, the home blends architectural significance with modern luxury—featuring soaring ceilings, expansive glass, and breathtaking long-range mountain views in every direction. Highlights include four deluxe suites with spa-inspired baths, a rooftop observation deck, sauna, outdoor hot tub, wet bar, and multiple indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces. The detached, fully upgraded gym and entertainment building further enhances the estate’s resort-like experience. 291 Dills Road complements the estate with a fully reimagined 3BR/3BA home (approx. 1,495 sq ft) featuring modern rustic finishes, hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a cozy wood-burning stove. Expansive covered decks invite you to relax in a peaceful wooded setting. A key feature is the separate 434 sq ft cabana/tiny home complete with loft sleeping, full bath, kitchen, and private deck—ideal for guests, additional living space, or rental income. Together, these properties create a rare multi-home compound offering unmatched flexibility, ideal as a private luxury estate, corporate retreat, multi-generational haven, or high-performing short-term rental portfolio. Located just minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, Appalachian Trail, and Fontana Lake, the setting offers immediate access to whitewater rafting, hiking, and endless outdoor adventure, while remaining privately tucked among national forest surroundings. Offered together at a discounted package price, this is a truly irreplaceable Smoky Mountain legacy opportunity. Private Luxury. Iconic Design. Unmatched Setting.
