Overview

This mountain ridge line lot offers a ready-to-plan setting for a custom home, with established groundwork that includes a driveway to a house pad. Community water and underground power are already available, helping preserve the long-range views the site is known for. The lot also has an expired 3-bedroom septic permit, providing a prior baseline for re-evaluation. Vacation rentals are allowed, offering an additional path for income if permitted requirements are met through the proper approvals.

Located in Western North Carolina’s mountain country, the property provides a balance of seclusion and convenience. It is positioned close to the towns of Dillsboro, Sylva, and Franklin, with nearby access to shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation.

For buyers looking to build on their own schedule, the combination of utilities, existing pad access, and previously laid groundwork can streamline early planning. Investors may also view the site as an opportunity where short-term rental use is permitted, subject to final compliance with local and county requirements and any updated septic or permitting needs.
