    About this House

    What's unique:Wooded surroundingsSpacious propertyLot is mostly cleared
    Newly Priced!!! This 3.68+/- acre property in Franklin is build-ready and full of potential. Three lots have been combined into one spacious property, offering room to spread out and flexibility for your future plans. Major improvements are already completed, including a new well, 3-bedroom septic system, 2 underground power boxes, driveway in place off Dowdle Mountain Road, and a large 50x70 house pad flagged, ready to build on. Conveniently located minutes from Downtown Franklin, the property also features a small stream along the bottom near Country Walk, creating a peaceful, tranquil setting. The lot is mostly cleared, saving time and expense, while still offering wooded surroundings and the opportunity to trim for even bigger mountain views. With an 1,800 square foot minimum building requirement in place, this property offers a great opportunity to protect long-term value while skipping much of the prep work and starting your build sooner. Come build your dream home!

There is very little to do in Franklin for the 18 - 45 year old age range, unless you like to hike. Easy trip to make a Asheville though for fun. "
