    About this House

    Enchanted Mountain Escape | 2.22 Acres | Construction-Ready | $77,000
    If you’ve been dreaming of building a mountain cabin where mornings begin with birdsong, evenings end around a fire, and nature surrounds you in every direction, welcome to 533 Enchanted Forest Drive.

    Nestled within the charming Pumpkintown Community of Sylva, North Carolina, this beautiful 2.22-acre homesite truly lives up to its address. Tucked among towering hardwoods, peaceful forest views, and natural springs, this property feels like the setting of a storybook—offering the perfect place to create your own enchanted mountain escape.

    Unlike many mountain properties that require months of planning and costly site preparation before construction can begin, this property is already well on its way to becoming someone’s dream home.

    The property features two construction-graded gravel driveways. The first driveway was designed to access a future detached garage, while the second leads directly to an established house pad, making it easy to envision your future mountain retreat.

    A permanent power pole has already been installed, a legal survey has been completed, and the property includes an approved septic permit valid through 2028. A land disturbance permit application has also been submitted, helping streamline the building process.

    Adding to its charm, natural springs flow through the property, while recently cleared trees have been cut into firewood and neatly stacked near the homesite—ready for your first cozy evening by the fire. A pedestrian bridge is currently being constructed to connect the two driveway areas across the stream, creating convenient access throughout the property.

    Situated at approximately 3,400 feet in elevation, you’ll enjoy cool mountain air, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful forest scenery while still being just minutes from the shopping, dining, breweries, festivals, and small-town charm of downtown Sylva. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to hiking, waterfalls, fishing, rafting, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy cabin, vacation home, Airbnb, retirement retreat, or full-time residence, the Pumpkintown Community offers flexibility with a minimum home size requirement of just 750 square feet.

    Even better, ownership costs remain remarkably affordable with property taxes of approximately $48 per year and HOA dues of only $100 annually.

    This is more than just vacant land—it’s an opportunity to build a lifestyle. The groundwork has already been laid. Now all that’s missing is your vision.
