About this home
This is your chance to own what is possibly the best homesite in Laurel Mountain Preserve, a gated mountain community just outside Black Mountain. Located at the very top of the mountain, this rare 10.01-acre parcel offers an incredible vantage point with the kind of long-range views buyers are searching for. A paved private road leads to an easy approach and a large build site of approximately one acre or more, which is increasingly hard to find in this setting. The land naturally falls away on two sides, giving you layered mountain views in multiple directions while maintaining privacy from neighboring parcels. Based on aerial and terrain review, the topography here is notably more usable than many surrounding tracts, offering a rare combination of elevation, accessibility, and build flexibility with minimal clearing needed to open up the views. Mature hardwoods provide a beautiful natural setting and seasonal color, and the surrounding estate-sized lots preserve the quiet, low-density feel of the community. This is one of the highest and most build-friendly lots available in the area. If you’ve been searching for a large, relatively flat mountain property where you can actually build without compromise, this is the spot.
