Unrestricted mountain land for sale in Mitchell County, NC: about 15 wooded acres near Bakersville in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Owner financing available. WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE: Build a mountain home or cabin, hunt it, camp on weekends, raise a few animals, or simply own a big private piece of the mountains. WHAT YOU CAN PUT HERE: Rural Mitchell County has no zoning, and this land has no HOA and no deed restrictions. You can build a stick-built home or cabin, set a modular home, or place a mobile or manufactured home. Bring your RV or camper for weekends and hunting season (living in one full time needs a septic system and county approval). ANIMALS WELCOME: With no HOA, you can keep chickens, goats, rabbits or other small farm animals. Goats love mountain land. GREAT FOR: Hunting land, recreational land, a weekend getaway, a cabin site, a mini farm or a future homestead. BUILDING: The land has a new recorded survey, and a licensed soil scientist found room for a septic system for a 2 to 3 bedroom home (preliminary; the county issues the final permit). A builder has walked the land and sees a workable homesite. This is true mountain land, and most of it is steeper than 15%, so plan on extra site work (grading or a retaining wall) for a full-size home. A cabin or smaller footprint keeps building simpler. For a modular or mobile home, have the delivery company look at the drive and homesite first. UTILITIES: Power is nearby, with power poles along Bee Branch Road (French Broad EMC). A few poles may be needed to bring it to your homesite. You would add a private well and a septic system, which is normal for mountain land. ACCESS: A gravel drive on a recorded private easement off Bee Branch Road. Mature hardwoods (oak, maple, beech). No flood zone and no wetlands. NEARBY TOWNS: Bakersville 10 miles, Spruce Pine 20 miles, Johnson City, TN 33 miles, Asheville 55 miles. AIRPORTS: Tri-Cities (TRI) 49 miles, Asheville Regional (AVL) 65 miles. THINGS TO DO: Penland School of Craft 16 miles, Roan Mountain State Park 19 miles, Mount Mitchell State Park 22 miles, Blue Ridge Parkway 26 miles. GOOD TO KNOW: A spring on the land also serves a neighbor through a recorded easement with an underground pipe. The survey and soil test (one file), How to Find the Property guide and a Property Documents list are attached. Owner financing available; ask for terms.
