About this home
Discover the beauty of Catawba Falls Preserve, a gated, nature-focused community nestled at the headwaters of the Catawba River and bordering the Pisgah National Forest. With over 215 spacious homesites and miles of hiking opportunities, this private mountain community is ideal for outdoor lovers. This exceptional lot is priced well below tax value and uniquely bordered by both Feather Falls and South Feather Falls. Located near the end of the Feather Falls cul-de-sac, it offers a peaceful, low-traffic setting. Potential for long-range mountain views with thoughtful home placement—similar to the adjacent homesite that has already been developed. Community guidelines allow off-frame modular homes, detached garages (without living space), and a minimum home size of 1,800 sq ft with 10-ft setbacks. Building height up to 35 ft. No required start date for construction; once a permit is issued, you have one year to begin. Enjoy the community trail leading directly to Catawba Falls. Conveniently situated just 25 minutes to Lake Lure and centrally located between Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, Old Fort, and Asheville—each only about 35 minutes away. This lot is priced to sell—don’t miss it!
