About this home

A rare development opportunity in Mills River, NC, one of the most sought-after areas of Western North Carolina. Ideally located just minutes from South Asheville, Asheville Regional Airport, and Pisgah National Forest, this property offers the perfect balance of accessibility, privacy, and natural beauty. The land has been professionally surveyed and designed into a proposed 8-lot subdivision, with homesites averaging approximately 0.75 acres. A thoughtfully planned 4.44-acre green space enhances the layout, preserving open views, natural character, and long-term value. (Survey and plat reflecting the 8-lot configuration and green space have been completed but are not yet recorded.) Featuring level to gently rolling topography, the property offers a desirable mix of open pasture and wooded areas, making it ideal for custom homes, a boutique residential development, or an investment hold. Easy access from a paved road adds to the property’s development potential. With strong location fundamentals, flexible layout, and proximity to outdoor recreation, this is a standout opportunity for builders, developers, or investors looking to create a high-quality residential community in a prime Mills River location.
