This is not a typical mountain house — it's a Deltec round home compound designed for living, hosting, and creative use. Set on a cleared ridge with sweeping mountain panoramas, the main Deltec core delivers the circular flow that the builder is known for: an open-concept kitchen and living area, efficient thermal envelope, and a private primary suite with a full bath. The main living area has ceramic tile and laminate floors throughout, insulated windows, and the durable finishes you want for a mountain property.
What truly differentiates 192 Iris Ln is the fully separated guest wing: a complete secondary living unit with its own full kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and a full bath. This arrangement creates multiple revenue or multi-generational living options with minimal conversion work. Beyond the two primary structures are five auxiliary outbuildings and a charming bunk house — several outbuildings already include working kitchens and bathrooms, making them excellent candidates for short-term rental cottages, artist studios, or long-term rental suites (verify permits with Jackson County). A detached carport and multiple parking areas make vehicle access and guest parking straightforward on this 14.72-acre tract.
Mechanicals suit a rural mountain setting: septic service and propane are in place, and the home emphasizes energy efficiency consistent with Deltec construction. The property sits on nearly 15 acres of rolling slope and woods, providing privacy while leaving room for trails, gardens, or additional building sites. Located in the Whittier area of Jackson County, you're within a reasonable drive of regional conveniences — small-town dining and services in Sylva and Dillsboro, multiple trailheads and waterways, and scenic drives that make Western North Carolina a destination for second-home buyers.
This listing is a solid fit for buyers seeking a signature home with immediate guest/income flexibility or for investors looking to build a compound of rental cottages. Bring your inspector and a plan: confirm square footage, septic capacity, and local rental regulations, then imagine the compound possibilities offered by an already multi-structure property and the iconic Deltec form.
