About this home

Discover the perfect blend of mountain beauty and build-potential on this rare flat riverfront lot. Set along a peaceful stretch of the Tuckasegee River, this property offers direct water access, year-round views, and the ideal terrain for your dream home. The land is open, and exceptionally usable—something hard to find in the mountains—giving you freedom for outdoor living spaces, gardens, or a private riverside fire pit. Mature trees along the riverbank provide natural shade and privacy. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, and tubing right from your backyard, with nearby access to the charming mountain town of Sylva and Western Carolina University's campus. *The buildable portion of the lot is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA's LOMR-F.*
