Now priced at $499,000! This is one of the final buildable waterfront lots available in Biltmore Lake, and one of the largest. Set inside a private gated enclave of just five homesites, this is where privacy, security, and prestige converge. Positioned to capture long water views and unforgettable sunsets, the homesite offers direct access to the walking trail that wraps the lake, placing morning strolls and evening reflections just steps from your future back door. The gated section ensures exclusivity few will ever experience, with only five properties sharing this entrance. No through traffic. No compromise on privacy. Just a quiet, refined setting for a custom residence that deserves to be extraordinary. Biltmore Lake itself is one of Asheville’s most sought-after communities — a private lakeside retreat where residents enjoy kayaking at sunrise, playing pickleball after breakfast, afternoons on the beach, and gathering at the architecturally cohesive village-style community center. It’s active. It’s elegant. It’s established. For the buyer who has been waiting — watching — knowing that the right lot matters more than the house itself… this is it. Pre-approved architectural plans for a four bedroom home are available upon request, offering a head start toward building a landmark home in one of Western North Carolina’s most coveted settings. A 1.34 acre lot with approximately 210 feet of water frontage. City water and sewer.

Incredible 52 acre waterfall property between Black Mountain and Lake Lure! There are 2 big, gorgeous waterfalls and several cascades of different sizes, and some swimming holes that would rival anything you would see in nearby national forests. Flat Creek is the named stream that runs through the property. Prior to Helene, the house was renovated and operated as a successful vacation rental. The storm damaged the home beyond repair and it was approved for removal by Buncombe County (estimated timeline is September 2026). The most likely build sites on the property are located on the southeast section of the parcel, where you enter the property. Let your imagination run wild with new hiking trails, fishing adventures, picnic spots, and more! OPEN USE ZONING! There is a hiking trail that runs up the east side of the stream to the top of the property, with another steep spur trail that provides access to the upper waterfall. Land has 2 access points; the SE corner and a right-of-way on the west side via a culvert over a small tributary (but the bridge is gone). However, the west side right-of-way may have changed due to Helene (see new survey). Click Virtual Tour link for video/survey. A map of property showing the main features is available from agent. The adjoining parcel to the west is also on the market (See MLS 4325345; Buncombe County PIN: 0625-06-0575-00000). This property offers another 123+ acres, a gravel road to a level build site, trails, and rock outcroppings. Combining both of these properties would create a beautiful estate unlike any other in Western North Carolina! With both properties, there are countless opportunities for hunting, recreation, and additional trail building!
