Lyle Wilson Rd Cullowhee, NC 28723

This 2.5-acre tract of development land is located approximately 0.25 miles from Western Carolina University and is situated within a federally designated Opportunity Zone. The property presents a development opportunity for duplex or townhome-style housing, intended to address the increasing demand and limited supply of available homes in the Jackson County area. The parcel is entitled to accommodate 12 duplex-style units on 6 building pads, specifically pads D1-D6 as indicated on the site plan. A comprehensive package including permits, drawings, plans, and studies is available for prospective purchasers. The total project area is entitled for a mix of single-family and duplex-style residences, totaling 73 units. The property is ready for vertical construction, potentially saving time and money. A 2019 housing study conducted by Jackson County indicated a need for over 2000 housing units to be constructed in Jackson County between 2020 and 2025. An $80 million engineering program expansion is expected to result in approximately 30 new professor hires at Western Carolina University in the next 18 to 24 months. There is strong area demand for housing units for sale or for market and workforce lease.
