Investment Overview

Rare opportunity to own an outstanding, well established, turn-key resort in the heart of historic Flat Rock, NC on 25 gorgeous acres bordering Highland Lake. Great potential to be converted into a wellness retreat, conference center, religious assembly, educational campus, corporate event center, or other special purpose resort. Set along the serene shores of Highland Lake, the property features a highly acclaimed, award-winning restaurant known for its strong local and tourist patronage. Anchored by a chef-designed kitchen, the restaurant is further enhanced by multiple private dining areas and a dedicated special events hall—positioning the venue as a prime location for weddings, retreats, and corporate functions.
