Smoke Rise Path lot 37, West Jefferson, NC 28694

This 1.22-acre wooded homesite in Brightwater on the New River features a gentle slope and sits on a quiet cul-de-sac within the community. A recent survey is already completed, and there is a valid 3-bedroom septic permit in place to support residential development. Selective undercutting has also been completed to improve building potential and help open the possibility of seasonal mountain views. The site’s grade is well-suited for a home design that includes a walk-out basement or a drive-in garage.

The property is located in Ashe County, within a gated mountain community that provides wide, well-maintained roads for year-round access. Residents have access to a riverfront common area along the New River, including a picnic pavilion and opportunities for fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. The community also has a minimum square footage requirement of 1,400 for a single-level home and 1,800 for a two-story home.

For buyers planning a primary residence, vacation home, or other residential build, this lot offers practical start-to-build elements, including a permitted septic plan and survey documentation. With its cul-de-sac setting and planned site improvements, it’s a straightforward option for establishing a home site in Brightwater’s established mountain setting.
