About this home

Welcome to “The Queen’s Crown” — an extraordinary 5+ acre homesite perched at the very top of the gated Great Sky community in Union Mills, NC. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this premier lot offers unmatched privacy, exclusivity, and some of the most breathtaking panoramic mountain views in the entire community. True to its name, The Queen’s Crown sits above it all, providing a commanding vantage point with long-range vistas, rolling ridgelines, and unforgettable sunsets. The elevated terrain creates an ideal setting for a custom mountain home, retreat, or legacy property, where nature, serenity, and inspiration converge. Great Sky features paved roads, public water, and underground utilities, blending modern convenience with the peace of a secluded mountain setting. With light building restrictions and low HOA dues, this community is perfectly suited for full-time living or a private escape. Ideally located just a short drive to Lake Lure, Lake James, Chimney Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, and within easy reach of Asheville, this remarkable lot offers the best of western North Carolina living. Opportunities to own a parcel of this size, elevation, and distinction are rare — The Queen’s Crown truly reigns supreme. Call or Text Today to get more Details!
