About this home

This 43-acre property features a mix of level and gently rolling terrain well suited for subdivision development, a private estate, or a family compound. The varied landscape offers flexibility for multiple homesites, while a small creek along the rear of the property enhances the natural setting. The property's access is located off of a NC state road and the property was once a local farm. Remains of the original home and outbuildings can be found on the property. City water is available for connection (see attachment). Conveniently located near Interstate 40, the property offers an easy commute to Hickory, Asheville, and nearby areas. It is also close to the Great Meadows development site, which is being actively marketed nationally, regionally, and statewide. As activity at Great Meadows grows, demand for housing in the area may increase, potentially adding to this property's development appeal. Offered at $774,000, approximately $18,000 per acre, this tract presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a sizable property in an area with growth potential.
