A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial block of unzoned mountain riverfront land that has operated under the same family ownership for 40 years. Located on 24.5 acres along a major river corridor in a high-traffic outdoor recreation market of North Carolina, this property features a steady baseline configuration of 41 active income-producing sites and lodging units.
Investment Highlights
Four Decades of Continuous Ownership: Operates with an established regional footprint and a massive base of recurring word-of-mouth clientele requiring zero active advertising expenditures.
Complete Turnkey Equipment Fleet
Sale includes a fully operational retail storefront, 35 canoes, 30 kayaks, 110 tubes, multiple shuttle vehicles, trailers, and Kubota tractors for seamless management.
12 Acres of Raw Unzoned Land
A clear path to scaling revenue exists by developing the remaining unzoned acreage into additional high-density RV sites or upgraded lodging.
Overbuilt Utility Capacity
The property features an overbuilt private septic system designed with ample headroom to support future campsite expansion without immediate infrastructure overhaul.
High-Volume Multi-Stream Income
Revenue is generated across site rentals, standalone cabin lodging, private lodge rooms, watercraft livery fees, upriver shuttle transportation, and retail retail store sales.
Buildings
The property houses an array of functional commercial and residential structures. The primary hub is a multi-use two-story lodge building that contains a downstairs retail tackle shop, a grocery convenience store, property office space, public restrooms, guest showers, and two private upper-level rental rooms. A guest laundry room with commercial laundry equipment is directly attached to the main lodge building. On-site housing includes a standalone owner’s residence positioned to overlook the riverfront acreage. Additional outbuildings consist of a large commercial storage shop designed to house the outfitter’s watercraft fleet and livery gear, along with a separate facility for property waste containment.
Area Attractions
The property is positioned within a highly visited mountain tourist corridor in North Carolina, pulling substantial seasonal traffic from major metropolitan hubs across the Southeast. The surrounding region is a premier destination for hiking, whitewater sports, and mountain biking, sitting in immediate proximity to national forest lands and major wilderness trail networks. Tourism is heavily driven by local historic sites, mineral mining attractions, and mountain waterfalls. The immediate river corridor is widely recognized as a top regional waterway for family tubing, canoeing, and professional sport fishing, providing the campground with a built-in audience of outdoor recreation travelers throughout the season.
