About this House

169+/- Acres minutes from Sylva, NC! WATERFALL TRACT BORDERING U.S. FOREST SERVICE! VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS! This 169+/- acres boasts a beautiful cascading creek spanning the length of the property for over 1 mile! A good portion of the creek runs through the center of the property. The tract already has an infrastructure of gravel roads leading through a good portion of it. There are many home sites to chose from, wether it be long range views or creek frontage. Imagine building you dream home right beside a beautiful waterfall! This would be perfect for a truly private estate bordered by 1,000's of acres of State and Federal Land, or a good opportunity to subdivide into several homesites. There are 15 parcels already surveyed and grandfathered with the County, with the possibility for several more. Buyer could choose to consolidate these back to 1 parcel, or retain for future lots to sell. Also a great opportunity for a Conservation Easement as it borders the Blue Ridge Parkway. Call at .
