About this home

Discover the potential of this 8.31-acre property located in the gated New Forest Mountain subdivision. This wooded tract offers privacy, natural beauty, and a peaceful setting with a homesite positioned near the top of the parcel beside a natural spring. A 1,200 sq ft foundation already exists on the property, providing a head start for your future mountain retreat or full-time residence. The land features steep and sloping terrain with mountain character throughout. A previous driveway is in place but has been impacted by fallen trees following Hurricane Helene. Enjoy the security and serenity of gated mountain living while still being conveniently located to nearby amenities.
