Read to the end of this paragraph! The Seller is offering a $2,500.00 concession at closing, see Seller's note below!! Much of the infrastructure is in place for the building of your new home on this beautiful and practical 3.13+/- acre lot in the Moses Creek/Caney Fork community in Cullowhee, NC. This quiet, secluded location is on a paved, state-maintained road within a short driving distance of Western Carolina University. A 2 BR septic system is installed (contact Jackson County Environmental Health for instruction of expansion, if needed to suit your plans). The former owner made good use of the spring fed water system; the pump system is housed in a sturdy building – a new pump will need to be installed. There is already a house site in place where a singlewide mobile home was formerly located. Bring your builder to explore siting options; there's plenty of room. A well-built driveway is accessed directly from the paved state-maintained Moses Creek Rd. Currently, there's a large dead tree laying across the driveway and another standing dead tree which the sellers decided to leave in place while selling the property for security and to allow the new owner to make their own design decisions about the entryway. From the Seller, “this property is a treasure and in the interest of protecting the natural beauty and the professional grade driveway and house site from damage, we decided to leave a fallen tree in place while the property is being marketed. At closing, we are prepared to make a concession of $2,500.00 to the Buyers for driveway entrance enhancement or other improvements the buyer may wish to make as they prepare to fulfill their ultimate vision of this property that we have loved so well.” Call your Buyer's Agent to see this Moses Creek property and enjoy the mountain view, the seasonal wildflowers, the diversity of hardwood forest and the serenity of birdsong and preserved habitat acreage home to local wildlife.
