About this home

A private mountain tract of approximately 30 more-or-less acres near Little Switzerland and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this property offers a blend of elevation, privacy, and possibility. The land features several potential building sites across its varied terrain, with upper portions that may offer views with selective clearing. A home once stood on the property before being destroyed by Hurricane Helene, but a detached three-car garage and an existing well remain. The property has been previously logged, and the old logging roads now provide walkable access throughout the acreage. The septic permit was requested but not found, and no representation is being made regarding the condition of the garage, the well, the septic system, or the existence of any septic system. All mineral rights will transfer with the sale. This is an opportunity to shape a mountain retreat or future homesite in one of Western North Carolina’s most scenic high-country areas.
