About this home
Discover your dream mountain getaway in the desirable Fontana Ridge community! This beautiful 2-acre cleared lot offers the perfect setting for your custom mountain home or vacation retreat. Enjoy long-range winter views and year-round mountain views, with the potential to expand the views even further through selective tree trimming. The property is build-ready with a graded house pad already in place and an expired 3-bedroom septic permit, making it easy to envision your future mountain cabin. The community requires a minimum home size of 1,200 square feet and features light restrictions, well-maintained/newer paved roads, and a mix of successful vacation rentals and full-time residences. Located just 5 miles from downtown Bryson City, you'll have quick access to shopping, dining, outdoor recreation, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The seller has also paid the full $5,000 road paving special assessment, saving the new owner from future payments or interest charges. Fontana Ridge is known for having some of the best-maintained roads of any mountain community in the area, providing easy year-round access. Don't miss this opportunity!
