A hidden gem in Bryson City. Located above the Tuckaseegee River. Minutes to enjoying the river along the Old River Road, exploring downtown Bryson City, hanging out at Darnell Farms or riding the Great Smoky Mountain Railway. This is appx 12.22 acres that sits above the river tucked back into a mountain setting with a small stream along the edge of the property. The property has an old home site on it. The home unfortunately had a leak in the roof. The flooring has fallen through. The home is not livable. The home does however have a septic tank and an artesian well as well as a driveway into the home site. The majority of the land sits behind the home site. This would be a great place for tiny homes, campsites, Air B&Bs, rentals or your private residence. The property can be developed into what you'd like, it has no restrictions. Road into the property crosses the Great Smoky Railway tracks, where the Polar Express and other theme train rides go through. Scary Branch is a gravel drive that goes up a mountain. You do not have to have 4WD. It has one rough area in the road and you drive by some campers and junk. Seller is not taking offer if you have not seen the property. Bryson City is a very popular tourist attraction and this property is in the heart of the bustling little town. This is a great investment property and priced way below county appraised value! Close to area attractions such as The Great Smoky Mtn Railway, Appalachian Trail, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, Darnell Farms, The Road to Nowhere and many other local attractions!
