    About this House

    Discover a rare chance to own 127 acres of breathtaking land nestled in the heart of Western NC. This expansive property spans three individual parcels, offering a blend of woodlands, open meadows, and gently rolling pastures — all set against the serene backdrop of the South Mountains and Silver Creek, which winds gracefully through the landscape. The creek, which naturally separates two of the parcels, is protected by a conservation easement along its banks, preserving the property’s pristine character and ecological integrity for generations to come. With approximately 6,747 feet of frontage along Morrison Road, and access to Brentwood water and electricity at the road front, the land is well-positioned for a variety of uses — from recreational retreat or conservation project to a thoughtfully planned development or private estate. Perfectly situated just 5 miles from I-40, and only 50 minutes to Asheville or 90 minutes to Charlotte, the location offers both tranquility and convenience — a rare combination in today’s market. Whether you're an investor, conservationist, or visionary landowner, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a significant and scenic tract of North Carolina's finest countryside.
