About this House
Discover the kind of mountain acreage that rarely comes to market anymore — 3.85 acres offering privacy, wooded beauty, and the freedom to create whatever retreat, homestead, or getaway you’ve imagined. Tucked into a quiet, natural setting, this property blends mature forest, rugged terrain, and pockets of usable land into a landscape that feels both wild and welcoming. For buyers seeking a place where they can build on their own terms, live simply, or escape into nature, this parcel offers a rare opportunity.
The land is primarily wooded, with tall trees creating a canopy that shifts beautifully with the seasons — lush and green in summer, golden in fall, and open enough in winter to reveal the contours of the mountains around you. The terrain includes classic Western North Carolina slope, giving the property a sense of elevation, privacy, and natural character. The steeper sections create a peaceful buffer from neighboring parcels and offer the potential for long-range views with selective clearing. For buyers who appreciate the drama and beauty of true mountain land, this property delivers the authentic landscape they’re looking for.
Several roughed-in roads wind through portions of the acreage, providing a valuable head start for access and exploration. These paths make it easier to reach the interior of the property, identify potential build sites, or simply enjoy the land as it is. A few small clearings already exist — ideal for staging materials, a tiny home, or beginning the early phases of a future build. These open spots give you options without taking away the wooded privacy that makes the property feel so secluded.
The only recorded restriction is that no single wide manufactured homes or travel trailers are allowed. There is no HOA, so the possibilities here are wide open. Bring your tiny home, double or triple-wide manufactured home, or off-grid cabin plans. Create a short-term rental retreat, a private weekend escape, or a full-time residence tucked into the trees. A cleared area roughly 100 feet by 65 feet is the perfect setting for your dream home, or cabin. Use the land for recreation, hunting, gardening, or simply as a peaceful place to unwind. Buyers who want flexibility — the freedom to shape their land without limitations — will immediately recognize the value of a property like this.
This is the kind of property that invites imagination. Picture a cabin perched above the trees, a deck overlooking the forest, or a quiet spot tucked-away in the trees where you can listen to the wind move through the branches. Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, spending your days exploring your own land, and ending evenings under a sky full of stars. Whether you’re looking for a long-term investment, a future build site, or a private mountain escape, this 3.85-acre parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and possibility.
Lightly restricted land of this size and character is increasingly hard to find in Western North Carolina. If you’ve been searching for a place where you can build freely, live simply, or create a retreat that reflects your own vision, this wooded mountain acreage is ready to become whatever you imagine
Additional home at 583 Dark Ridge Rd across the street (MLS #4394353) and adjoining 2.25 acre lot (MLS #4394697) are also available for sale. Amazing opportunity!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageScott's Creek Elementary School is amazing. The teachers are educationally dedicated, on target with each student, highly involved on every level, concerned, caring and completely professional. We are very happy with the implementation of the academic program. Most importantly, my granddaughter feels safe at her school.Parent Review11y ago - Smoky Mountain High

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWouldn't have wanted to spend the last 4 years anywhere else. Smoky Mountain is a great school, filled with more school spirit than any school I have ever seen. We are well known for having the best basketball "student-section" in Western North Carolina, if not the whole state. Academically, I wouldn't say it is top-notch, but it is what you make it. If you work diligently and take initiative to make a way for yourself, you will be well prepared. But there is a lot of leeway to slack for those who don't choose to do so. My 1 complaint is that the guidance office is more or less useless in the college-prep department. I felt like I was all by myself throughout my process, swamped with applications and ill-informed about scholarship opportunities. But overall, I have had an amazing experience here at SMHS! The sense of community is impeccable and the environment is safe and welcoming. Great stepping stone!Student Review12y ago - Jackson County Early College
