If you’re lucky enough to tour this property, you’ll be stepping into a piece of Appalachian history. Photos simply don’t do it justice, It's beauty is something to be felt, not just seen.
Set on 41 unrestricted pastoral acres, these parcels present a rare opportunity in desirable Leicester, just minutes from Asheville. With pricing under $25,000 per acre, it’s an exceptional chance to own substantial land in one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after areas.
Offered together, these two parcels provide privacy, natural beauty, and incredible flexibility. Whether you envision a private estate, family compound, farmette, or low-density development (buyer to verify zoning and subdivision potential), the possibilities are wide open.
The front acre is cleared and ready to build, complete with a well and septic system. The level homesite offers stunning views, which is an uncommon combination. The remaining 40 acres feature rolling topography, multiple potential build sites, mature hardwoods, and a year-round creek, all while maintaining both mountain and pastoral views.
With two access roads and convenient proximity to shopping, dining, and major highways, the property strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. The area continues to experience strong demand from buyers seeking space without sacrificing access to Asheville.
Located in the historic Sandy Mush Valley, this property is surrounded by conservation land and working farms, offering a peaceful setting rooted in tradition. Sandy Mush is known for its strong sense of stewardship, where residents are committed to preserving the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Whether you’re looking to build now, invest long-term, or explore development opportunities, this property is a truly compelling offering in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable growth corridors.
