This 9.8-acre tract lies within Cold Springs Ranch, a gated community in the Southern Appalachians that values privacy, conservation, and connection to the land. Bordered to the south by the Cherokee National Forest and over 50 acres of protected community greenspace, the property offers direct access to miles of private trails and quiet woodland surroundings. Mature hardwoods and old-growth trees define the landscape, with several suitable homesites available, each offering seclusion and natural beauty. A remaining stone chimney from a long-gone cabin marks the main site, a subtle reminder of the land’s history. Access is available from both Ore Knob Road above and the cul-de-sac at the end of Juniper Road below. The community supports low-impact living, including horse grazing in the shared pasturelands. Owners also enjoy access to a stocked fishing pond, picnic areas, open meadows at 4,300 feet, and sweeping, 360-degree views from the summit of Ore Knob, reaching into Tennessee and beyond. Sunsets here are broad and uninterrupted. Max Patch and the Appalachian Trail lie just beyond the ridge. Asheville is approximately 75 minutes away, with Hot Springs, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley all within an hour. This is a rare opportunity to settle into a place where the land quietly speaks for itself and with enduring presence.
