Overview

The property is a fully entitled development tract comprised of approximately 27.24 acres and designed for residential construction. The entitlement supports a total of 73 units in a mix of single-family detached homes and duplex-style housing. A complete package of permits, drawings, plans, and studies is available to prospective purchasers, and the grunt work has been completed, positioning the site to move directly into vertical development.

The tract is located in Cullowhee, North Carolina, approximately 0.25 mile from Western Carolina University. It is also within a federally designated Opportunity Zone. The listing notes a Jackson County housing study completed in 2019, identifying a need for over 2,000 housing units to be constructed between 2020 and 2025, alongside the observation that construction volumes since 2020 have not matched that need.

This is a practical fit for developers seeking an entitled residential project with documentation and permitting materials already assembled. The existing approvals for both single-family and duplex product types can support a straightforward path to vertical construction once buyers are ready to proceed with building.
