The amazing waterfall lot on the "other end" - even though it does touch Lot 5 Shoal Ridge.. that would be a trek, easier to drive around to that side! :)
Lot 1,2,3 Falls Road have this beautiful sunset views!
Right under 5 acres where you'll see this lot and VIEWS from!

Opened up now as you travel up from the waterfall to your vehicle only a few minutes distance, even the peek a boo views get you!
Top of the waterfall looking out from where the man made pond and creeks are, and more potential homesites could be! Behind this area, catching more of a view! This is via drone - do NOT crawl on/across top of waterfall due to liability or any part. TY
Top of the waterfall from the "upper" part of lot where the pond and creeks, potential homesite are!
Opened up now as you travel up from the waterfall to your vehicle only a few minutes distance, even the peek a boo views get you!
Walk up from waterfall, less than 5 minutes to your feet in the water!
This is accessible via trails from Lot 5 Shoal Ridge Lane or by vehicle - kind of like a horse shoe, where it's "not connected" is where you'd drive the vehicle to access each side, if buying the Shoal Ridge Lane Portion, also that is available! Not pictured with this purchase is another approx almost 20+/- acres

About this home

Not all luxury is built. Some of it is discovered. An extraordinary opportunity awaits within New Forest Mountain—over 60+ acres of gated, infrastructure-ready land anchored by one of the most compelling natural features in Western North Carolina: your own private ±175-foot waterfall, cascading through the heart of the property and setting the tone for a sanctuary that is both powerful and serene. This is far more than a mountain tract. It is a rare convergence of scale, water, elevation, and readiness—a setting where sweeping, unobstructed mountain views frame a landscape shaped by flowing creeks, quiet forest paths, and dramatic changes in terrain. Here, every step feels intentional, every vista earned. Private trails invite exploration—leading to sandy-bottom streams, shaded swimming holes, and the waterfall itself, where a natural rock ledge forms a cooling cascade and an unforgettable sensory experience. The sound of moving water, the stillness of the forest, and the privacy of the land create a sense of calm that is increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the waterfall, the property features a tranquil man-made pond, meandering creeks, abundant wildlife, and multiple cleared homesites, each thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy and commanding outlooks. The foundation is already in place: underground power and water access are installed, allowing you to move directly into the building phase—whether your vision is a refined mountain retreat, a contemporary glass residence, or a collection of cabins designed for family, guests, or legacy use. Located within a secure, gated mountain community, this tract balances seclusion with accessibility. Enjoy proximity to everyday essentials while remaining centrally positioned—approximately one hour to Asheville or Greenville/Spartanburg, 1.5 hours to Charlotte, and just minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Hendersonville for dining, recreation, and seasonal events. Notable Features: • Private ±175-foot waterfall—rare, dramatic, and entirely yours • Over 60+ acres of diverse, usable terrain • Multiple cleared homesites with long-range mountain views • Underground power in place; water available • Pond, creeks, trail system, and natural recreation areas • Gated setting offering privacy and peace of mind Additional acreage and unique features may be available by request, including access to a private natural cave, expanded homesites, and extended mountain views—with the potential to combine into a much larger legacy holding. Properties of this caliber—especially those defined by water, views, and readiness—are exceptionally difficult to replicate at any price point. Proof of funds or pre-approval required prior to touring. Agent-accompanied showings only. This is a land offering that must be walked, heard, and felt to be fully understood.
