Tucked away in approximately 55 acres of unrestricted woods and wildlife lies the rare opportunity to build a dream haven close to hundreds of acres of U.S. Forest Service land. With tremendous mountain views from multiple building sites, a driveway already in place, and utility connection nearby, this homesite is ready for a quintessential mountain getaway.
Enjoy the night sky away from city lights and stargaze while unwinding around a fire. Revel in sunny days and hike the property to the soundtrack of the soothing stream that meanders through it. Cool summer breezes and cozy winter nights make this homesite the ideal setting for a relaxing retreat.
This property is located just up the mountain from the vibrant downtown areas of Sylva and Dillsboro, which feature unique shops and local breweries, and is even closer to Western Carolina University. Outdoor opportunities include easy access to the Tuckasegee River via East Laporte River Park for kayaking and fishing, as well as abundant hiking trails and waterfalls throughout the nearby Nantahala National Forest.
A short drive leads to Lake Glenville and Cashiers, which offer more recreational opportunities and scenic beauty, and the Asheville Regional Airport is conveniently located about an hour away. Whether as an investment or a home base with access to a variety of activities and attractions, this property delivers high potential and proximity to the best of Western North Carolina.
