About this home

What an amazing opportunity to own a simply lovely 3 acre riverfront lot! This private lot is located in the popular gated community of Green River Highlands. The neighborhood is ideally located near highway/interstate access for quick trips to shopping, dining, and the many events offered at famed Tryon International. Cleghorn Golf and Sports Club is just a few minutes away! I imagine that living in this peaceful community will have you feeling like you've signed up for an extended vacation! Pass the neighbors horses grazing in the fields as you return to your gently sloping wooded lot that leads gently down to flowing Green River. In fact, this lot has approx. 288 feet of prime river frontage! There is plenty of room for building on high and dry land. Under ground utilities are ready to tap into and the neighborhood has fiber optic connectivity in case you aren't quite ready to retire. Your new home need only be 1200 square ft which is ideal for those choosing to downsize to a cute cabin or have a vacation home on a river in the North Carolina foothills! Yes, please!
