This UNRESTRICTED 3-acre property in MURPHY NC combines existing infrastructure, scenic surroundings, and plenty of opportunity to make it your own! If you've been looking for land that checks both the recreational and residential boxes, don't miss out on this one! You'll love the tranquility and charm of country living, surrounded by peaceful woods and the soothing sound of Hanging Dog Creek's rushing waters just across the paved state-maintained road. The two combined tracts feature a mix of gently rolling and steeper terrain with multiple level “pads,” giving you options and usability. The proposed homesite on Tract 2 is already equipped with electric service, a well head, and an installed 3-bedroom septic system, giving you a head start on your plans. With selective clearing, you could even enjoy a picturesque creek view right from your future front porch. With fiber optic internet available, you will enjoy the perfect combination of rural serenity with modern connectivity. Several storage structures also convey with the property, including a metal shed and camper (seller makes no representation as to condition). This property is lightly developed, leaving room for the new owner to make improvements tailored to their vision and needs. The groundwork is in place with existing gravel/dirt roads on the more buildable Tract 2; additional grading and road development will help unlock the property's full potential and provide better vehicle access to the proposed homesite. Tract 1 offers excellent potential for recreational use, with opportunities to create ATV or 4-wheeler trails throughout the beautiful, but steeper wooded terrain (but also has an active 3-bedroom septic permit). AWD/4WD needed. Ideally located just 15 minutes from food, arts & shopping in downtown Murphy NC, and with Hanging Dog General Store and the convenience center only minutes away, this unrestricted property is bursting with potential – bring your dreams & come see it before its gone!
