About this home

Seller represents no restrictions- buyer's title search/legal to confirm. This mostly flat lot is highly desirable and difficult to find in the mountains. The location is ideal, just five minutes to adorable downtown Sylva, very close to Western Carolina University. The Soil Scientist confirmed that up to a three-bedroom septic system can be accommodated. Soil sample attachments are available in the document attachments.
