Overview

This very buildable land parcel offers approximately 34+/- acres and includes infrastructure improvements designed to make site access practical. The property fronts Old Cullowhee Rd and features a very good road and two separate access points to the frontage. TWSA water is available, and electric service is on the property, supporting residential development needs. The land is also noted as reachable without four-wheel drive, which can matter for day-to-day planning during construction and future occupancy.

The property is located about one mile from Western Carolina University, giving it proximity to a major local campus while still allowing for privacy. It is in Jackson County in Sylva, NC. Per the remarks, there are light restrictions in place: manufactured homes are not allowed, while tiny homes are permitted. Restrictions also address nuisance issues, including prohibitions on junk cars, large equipment, and hunting dogs.

With road access, utilities availability, and frontage with two access points, this parcel can fit a range of residential concepts, including development or a family compound. The combination of workable site access and the stated restrictions may help define expectations for what can be built and how the property can be used.
