About this home

This undivided lot in Fontana View offers room for 2 home sites, one above the road & one below; both of which have AMAZING views of the Smoky Mtns Nat'l Park. You could sell off one portion of lot to help fund the construction of your new dream home on the other. Or build 2 homes, one to enjoy and one to rent. Or build a big garage/workshop/man cave. The upper portion of lot borders US Forest Service property, so your backyard will be acres of unspoiled wilderness. A driveway and house pad were excavated in 2022 on upper lot portion; 3 bedroom septic and well permits on file. This is a popular community offering year round access right off 4 lane highway 28 in Almond. Fontana View Properties is a very well maintained and excellent neighborhood to live in with very successful vacation rentals PLUS many year round residents. Just a few minutes from Fontana Lake, Almond Boat Dock & Marina, Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park, rafting in Nantahala Gorge, the Dragon's Tail and Harrah's Casino in Cherokee. This lot is ready to build!
