About this home

8.89 acres with MR-MU zoning in the heart of Mills River, perfect for development or personal estate. Gentle terrain and private location, yet only 5 mins to grocery, medical, restaurants and breweries. Two parcels consisting of 7.89 acres and 1.0 acre. Mature timber and old roads throughout. Two manufactured homes on the property are being conveyed as-is with no value assigned. However, each has a 3BR septic system and there is a shared well with power on the property to both homes. Land has easy access off of Shep Drive but is not included in the HOA.
