About this home
46.99 +/- acres of beautiful, unrestricted land 12 minutes from Downtown Burnsville! Offering exceptional privacy, approximately 2,800 feet of frontage along Double Island Road, multiple potential homesites, and long-range mountain views, this is a rare opportunity to own a large tract of great mountain land. The property is predominantly gentle and usable, with some more sloped areas leading to higher elevations where beautiful long-range mountain views open to the east. The elevated portions also offer excellent potential for sunrise views. Rough roads throughout the property provide a great head start for accessing the land and exploring the many potential homesites. As you enter the property, approximately one full acre of cleared land offers immediate possibilities for pasture, gardening, a workshop, homesite, or other uses. A small stream winds through the middle of the property. Per the seller, a spring reservoir has been installed near the back 8 acres, potentially providing an additional water resource for a future owner. The property also offers abundant wildlife, including deer, and has been used for hunting by the current owner. The combination of acreage, privacy, varied terrain, existing access, wildlife, and scenic views creates excellent opportunities for recreational use, a private mountain retreat, or a permanent residence. A French Broad Electric easement runs along the edge of the property, providing an existing utility corridor; buyers should verify availability and connection requirements with the utility provider. Whether you envision a private homestead, family compound, working farm, hunting retreat, recreational property, or future development, this 46.99 +/- acre tract offers an incredible amount of flexibility. Large, unrestricted properties with this much privacy, road frontage, usable land, and proximity to Burnsville are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
