Lake Santeetlah is one of most beautiful and unspoiled lakes in the eastern U.S. and is often called one of the most beautiful in the country. It is situated about 100 miles west of Asheville located within the in the  Nantahala National Forest.  Because roughly 80% of of the 76-mile shoreline is protected National Forest land that will never be developed, it is especially serene and peaceful, even during the summer months.  The home itself is situated on a private swimming cove, and perfect for enjoying canoeing, kayaking, swimming and paddle boarding out of the way of any wake or boats. As soon as you venture beyond the cove, you’ll discover view after view of stunning mountain-scapes, along with miles of undisturbed shoreline.
