About this home
Discover the ultimate mountain canvas on this sprawling 2.76-acre corner lot nestled within the gated community of Firefly Mountain. This isn’t just a homesite; it’s a rare gateway to the wilderness, with the neighborhood uniquely bordered by the protected expanses of the Pisgah National Forest. Here you'll have a front-row seat to the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Despite its deep-woods feel, the property is fully equipped for modern life, featuring paved road access and high-speed fiber optic internet, making it an ideal location for a remote work sanctuary or a modern mountain retreat. The Firefly Mountain community elevates the mountain living experience with thoughtful amenities, including a charming clubhouse for social gatherings and a tranquil community pond perfect for quiet afternoons. Beyond the gates, you are only five miles from the eclectic and vibrant town of Hot Springs. Known as a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, Hot Springs is where the legendary Appalachian Trail crosses paths with the French Broad River, offering endless opportunities for hiking, whitewater rafting, and world-class fishing. After a day of adventure, you can enjoy the town’s local brewery, diverse restaurants, and the famous natural mineral tubs that give the town its name. For those looking for a smart investment, this property offers incredible versatility. The neighborhood’s policy allowing short-term rentals makes this an ideal location to build a custom vacation home that can generate income when you aren't there. Whether you envision a rustic timber-frame cabin or a sleek modern glass house designed to capture the forest views, this lot provides the infrastructure and the location to make that vision a reality. Own a piece of the mountains where the trail meets the river, and the forest is your only neighbor.
