A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most iconic mountain estates in the Great Smoky Mountains. Originally commissioned for executives of the legendary Record Bar Company and masterfully built by renowned builder Bill Baxter, the remarkable circular Record Bar House was inspired by the shape of a vinyl record, creating an architectural masterpiece unlike anything else on the market.

Offered together with neighboring 291 Dills Road, this extraordinary 8,600+ square foot luxury compound combines timeless design, privacy, and exceptional versatility. At the heart of the main residence is a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace surrounded by soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and spectacular long-range mountain views overlooking more than 30,000 acres of Nantahala National Forest. Luxury amenities include four deluxe suites with spa-inspired baths, a sauna, heated hot tub, wet bar, rooftop observation deck, multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, and a fully renovated detached gym and entertainment building.

The neighboring home beautifully complements the estate with modern rustic finishes, hardwood floors, exposed beams, expansive covered decks, and a separate guest cabana complete with its own kitchen, full bath, loft sleeping area, and private deck. Together, the properties create an incredible opportunity as a private luxury retreat, multi-generational estate, corporate getaway, boutique hospitality property, or high-performing short-term rental portfolio.

Perfectly positioned just 2 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the Appalachian Trail, and minutes from Fontana Lake, this irreplaceable Smoky Mountain compound offers world-class whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, boating, and year-round adventure while remaining completely private. Opportunities to own an estate of this architectural significance, setting, and value are extraordinarily rare. 295 and 291 Dills Rd. are offered together or separately. Home Price just Reduced. All offers welcome.
