Priced below tax assessment! This private, ~2-acre wooded cul-de-sac lot offers a rare opportunity in one of the most desirable communities near Asheville and Black Mountain. Situated at an elevation of ~3,500 feet, the property features a previously approved 3-bedroom septic improvement permit (expired 2001) and will surely showcase incredible, expansive views of the mountains, valley, and Asheville's Reservoir once a driveway and homesite are cleared. Enjoy the perfect blend of natural beauty and urban convenience. The community features a gated entrance, abundant wildlife, hiking trails, the Laurel Branch picnic area, and a community center with a gathering hall. Your peace and privacy are permanently protected: nothing sits between this community and Craggy Gardens on the Blue Ridge Parkway except acres of conservation easements, common areas, and one of the largest protected watersheds in the United States. Conveniently located just 10 minutes (4.2 miles) from downtown Black Mountain and 20–25 minutes from downtown Asheville, you are moments away from employment, shopping, schools, and world-class arts and entertainment. Ask your broker to accompany you up the pathway to the top of the lot to experience the exemplary views and true potential of this mountain estate!
