Discover and Own a Rare Gem in the Heart of Western North Carolina's Mountains Discover a rare gem in the heart of Western North Carolina's majestic mountains: 26.98 acres of pristine, unspoiled wilderness awaiting your vision. This extraordinary parcel in the coveted Tusquittee Valley is your ultimate private sanctuary, just 5 minutes from the charming town of Hayesville—offering seclusion without isolation. Venture beyond the road that winds through the property and immerse yourself in nature's splendor. Hike through lush forests filled with vibrant mountain laurel, towering hardwoods, and hidden treasures. The diverse terrain invites endless possibilities: from level meadows and gentle slopes to dramatic ridges, secluded coves, enchanting hollows, and elevated knolls—each perfect for your dream home or cabin. Excavation will unlock these prime build sites, revealing panoramic views of your own forested oasis. At the heart flows “Stable Branch”, a crystal-clear stream originating from the U.S. Forest Lands to the north, complemented by a smaller eastern branch and at least four natural mountain springs—perhaps more waiting to be uncovered. Imagine the soothing sounds of cascading water as your daily soundtrack. Wildlife thrives here, offering opportunities to observe—and for sportsmen, a variety of local game. Echoes of history linger at an old homesite, where a sturdy rock fireplace and chimney stand as a timeless foundation for your rustic retreat. Completely unrestricted (save for a simple easement to use the road to access the neighbors' land to the north), properties like this are vanishing fast in our beloved mountains. Don't let this unique haven slip away—seize the opportunity to craft your legacy in paradise today!
