Smoke Rise Path lot 42, West Jefferson, NC 28694

This 1.64-acre wooded homesite is located in the gated community of Brightwater on the New River. The property includes a recent survey and an approved 3-bedroom septic permit, and it has been professionally undercut to improve build-readiness and open up potential mountain views. The terrain is gently sloping, making it well suited for a home design with a walk-out basement or drive-in garage. Community building requirements call for a minimum of 1,400 square feet for a single-level home and 1,800 square feet for a two-story home.

The lot sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with easy year-round access via well-maintained gravel roads. Ownership also includes access to a riverfront common area along the South Fork of the New River, which features a picnic pavilion, a stone fireplace, and easy river access for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and swimming. The property is described as being minutes from downtown West Jefferson and nearby shopping and dining.

For buyers looking to build in a river-access community, this parcel offers key site preparation items already in place, including survey completion and an approved septic plan. Its sloped setting and cul-de-sac location provide a practical foundation for a range of home approaches, including walk-out or drive-in designs, while the Brightwater amenities support full-time living or a mountain retreat.
