About this home
Build your dream mountain escape on this beautifully cleared 1.52-acre lot, where simplicity meets stunning natural surroundings. With a modest 850-square-foot minimum build, the property offers flexibility while maintaining the charm of an exclusive 24-parcel community tucked along the Little East Fork of the Pigeon River and encircled by over 40,000 acres of protected national forest. At 3,200 feet in elevation, enjoy cool summer breezes, serene privacy, and breathtaking long-range views of iconic peaks like Cold Mountain and Grassy Cove Top (both at 6,000+ elevation). The mostly level terrain, underground power, and gentle gravel road access make building easy, while the elevated setting above the river, one parcel away, provides peaceful background sounds of flowing water. Low annual POA dues of just $400 keep this quiet mountain haven beautifully maintained year-round. Approx 125 ft deep X 550 ft wide, allowing plenty of room for your custom home and garage layout, all on one floor if you choose - AND still have a big sunny yard!
