About this home

This building lot is the perfect place to build your dream home. Even though it's outside the city limits, city water is available saving the price of a well. An access road has already been graded to the center of the property and will only need some bushes cut out and new gravel added. An electric line crosses the upper side of the property meaning no electrical easements will be needed. Chestnut Hill Estates is an excellent neighborhood offering well maintained roads and low HOA fees. With some tree work, your home built on this listing will offer beautiful mountain views to the east and south. Wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys are abundant in Chestnut Hill Estates. This lot is a short 5-minute drive from the restaurants, brewery and arts scene in the attractive mountain town of Burnsville. Asheville is a 40-minute drive away on great 4-lane roads. World class hiking, fishing and other outdoor activities are just minutes away. Come see why this lot is perfect for your home.
