About this home

Attention builders, developers, and investors—don’t miss this rare opportunity in the heart of Black Mountain. Tucked away on a quiet, low-traffic street, this private, wooded property is just moments from Lake Tomahawk and the charm of downtown. With public utilities available and short-term rentals allowed, the possibilities here are abundant. Preliminary guidance suggests potential for up to three build sites (buyer to confirm), making this an ideal candidate for an investment project. The surrounding area offers an inviting lifestyle with nearby golf, tennis, sports fields, and a thriving downtown filled with beloved restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and boutiques. Asheville is just a short 20-minute drive away. The existing structure is likely a teardown.
