Tucked along the serene shores of Highland Lake and surrounded by the cultural richness of Flat Rock, 447 Lily Pad Lane offers a rare opportunity to transform nearly 5 acres of gently sloping, wooded lakefront into a best-in-class destination. Envisioned as a boutique resort or wellness retreat, the site sits adjacent to two of the region’s most established hospitality anchors: Highland Lake Inn & Resort and Season’s Restaurant, creating a seamless integration into an already thriving leisure corridor. With over 22,000 square feet of existing improvements, including a former lodge and educational building, the property offers immediate development potential supported by strong infrastructure, flexible zoning, and scenic vistas from nearly every angle.
Guests will enjoy direct access to the lake, lush open spaces, and proximity to some of Western North Carolina’s most beloved attractions, including the Flat Rock Playhouse, Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, and nearby vineyards, trails, and golf courses. Whether redeveloped as luxury lodging, event space, or a wellness-forward concept, the property's generous scale allows for curated outdoor programming, private suites with water views, and common areas designed around the beauty of the landscape. With demand rising in Flat Rock's experiential travel market and limited supply of high-end boutique inventory, 447 Lily Pad Lane offers developers and investors a one-of-a-kind platform to deliver a transformative hospitality product, just 30 minutes from Asheville, yet a world apart.
