Tucked away in the eastern corner of Buncombe County, this property is your chance to unplug and cultivate a life away from it all. The parcel includes the best part of a large, gently sloping ridge that drops from approximately 2,700 to 2,600 feet in elevation. The slope faces the southeast, which means you will be on the sunny, dry side of the mountain. The property is wooded with plenty of rhododendrons, hardwoods, blackberries, and mountain laurel, yet there is an open feel to the crest of the ridge. The 30-foot easement has a graded dirt road bed in place. Once you enter the property on the easement, you will see the potential build sites immediately. Walking up the ridge will unveil even more potential. Eventually, the grade will steepen toward the northwestern corner of the parcel. Think of this as a natural barrier advocating for your privacy. This property is zoned Open Use, so there is no need to worry about anyone else telling you how to develop your land as you explore the possibilities. This parcel is ideal for a secluded life on the mountain, located just a 25-minute drive to Black Mountain and a 20-minute drive to Lake Lure. Come check this one out for yourself!
