Narrative:
Inbound to ZZZ 10 miles out I call my location and intent for left traffic for runway xx at ZZZ airport. I make my traffic pattern calls and as I call on final I hear a static on the radio and assume it is traffic at another airport on [the same frequency.] it was not till my landing flare that I see aircraft Y rotating opposite direction on the runway approximately 2000 ft in front of me. The aircraft sidesteps to my right and over flies my right wing at approximately 75 ft. I query the aircraft and he makes a statement that they called a right base to land xy (opposite direction) but that I decided to land anyways. Assistant airport manager at ZZZ overheard the radio calls and stated to me he heard my radio calls; but none from aircraft Y until I queried him. At no time did I hear any radio calls from aircraft Y until I queried him. The lack of radio calls from aircraft Y; and decision to land opposite runway after hearing my radio call on final.
