Rare Large-Scale Residential Development Opportunity Near Bryson City! Don't miss the opportunity to acquire and develop one of the last significant residential tracts in the Alarka/Bryson City area. Strategically located near the Alarka Road/US-74 interchange (Exit 64), this property offers convenient access to Bryson City, Cherokee, the Nantahala area, Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains. The location combines a peaceful mountain setting with excellent regional accessibility. Alarka Road (SR 1140) is identified by NCDOT as carrying approximately 8,300 vehicles per day between US-19 and Deep Gap Road, providing substantial exposure along this established community corridor. The property's proximity to US-74 and Exit 64 places it at an important gateway between Bryson City and the surrounding communities and recreational destinations. Nearby Swain West Elementary School, established residential neighborhoods and existing development contribute to the area's strong residential character. The Alarka corridor is already attracting significant investment, including larger-scale residential development nearby, demonstrating continued interest in this desirable mountain community. For the experienced developer, the property presents an opportunity to create a substantial residential community rather than simply individual homesites.

Large tracts with this combination of size, highway access, community infrastructure and proximity to Bryson City are increasingly difficult to find in Western North Carolina. The property's position near Exit 64 and along the Alarka corridor provides a compelling combination of accessibility and long-term development potential. Position your investment ahead of the next phase of growth in the Alarka/Bryson City corridor.

The abundance of flat fields provides parking for well over 100 vehicles. Approximately 111 acres are in a conservation easement that allow for hiking, camping, trails and hunting, but otherwise restrict development in that portion meaning it will always be pristine woodlands full of wildlife as your backyard. Sellers will place some very light restrictions on the remainder.

11 Westwood  Place, Asheville
$995,000
4418092 MLS
A corner lot at the center of one of Asheville's most navigable and in-demand neighborhoods, 11 Westwood Place offers rare flexibility for its next owner. The site sits within a short distance of The Admiral, W.A.L.K. and Harvest Records, placing any future resident inside the established mixed-use fabric of West Asheville rather than adjacent to it, a distinction increasingly valued by those prioritizing accessibility over square footage. For a developer, the opportunity is substantial. Zoned HR2-EXP, the property carries meaningful entitlement momentum for an eight-unit townhome development. The site plan has moved through multiple rounds of formal grading, stormwater and erosion-control review with the City of Asheville's Development Services Department, translating directly into saved time and engineering cost for whoever picks up the project. For a buyer envisioning a single custom home, the same site offers something equally compelling: a flat corner lot in one of West Asheville's most established and appreciating pockets, with 194 feet of combined frontage along Westwood Place and Waynesville Avenue and long-range mountain view potential from upper living levels. It's a rare chance to build a private residence within a short distance of the neighborhood's best restaurants, coffee and record shops on a site with more street presence and buildable flexibility than typical infill lots. Flat, workable topography keeps site prep straightforward regardless of direction and the corner position gives either a multi-unit or single-family design room to maximize light, access and curb appeal. Whether the path forward is an income-producing townhome development or a custom-built single-family home, 11 Westwood Place delivers a navigable West Asheville address, workable topography and mountain-view upside, a combination well suited to developers, builders and individual buyers alike evaluating land near Haywood Road and the West Asheville corridor.

Why did the tree buy 7.63 acres? It wanted to branch out. Ok, I'll show myself out and work on my dad jokes. But before I do...we should probably talk about this property. If you've been looking for land around Asheville for any length of time, you know the drill. You see the pictures online. Looks promising. You drive out there. Then you spend the next hour fighting rhododendron, climbing over downed trees and staring into the woods while somebody says, "Trust me, there's a nice homesite back there." Where? Back where? Well, the owners of this one did us all a favor. They cleaned it up. Trails have been opened, brush has been cut back and you can actually WALK this 7.63 acres and see what you're buying. And once you start walking it, the property begins to make sense. There's a nice mix of rolling and sloping mountain ground, mature hardwoods, privacy and mountain views. You're sitting around 2,000–2,500 feet in elevation, tucked back in the woods where it feels like you've gotten away from things—but you're still in Candler. You don't have to pack provisions and say goodbye to your family every time you need to run to Ingles. Want to build one house and keep your woods around you? Makes sense. And yes, there are restrictions. Honestly, that's not always a bad thing. Minimum house size is 1,200 square feet. Modular homes are allowed; manufactured homes are not. You'll need a well and septic. Access is by private gravel road. What I like about this one is simpler than that. You can see the land. You can walk around, look at the different areas, stand there for a minute and start figuring out where the house goes. Where the porch goes. Where you leave the trees. Where you open up the view. That's when land starts getting fun. The owners already did a bunch of the dirty work. Put on your flip flops, Pradas or Boots on and come see what they found. New Survey and Septic Eval on file.

Welcome to Lot 15 in Skydance, a private gated mountain community offering exceptional long-range views and an easy connection to the best of Western North Carolina. Tucked away at the end of the road, this 3.5-acre homesite offers an uncommon level of privacy along with approximately 180-degree long-range mountain views stretching across the surrounding ranges toward Pisgah National Forest. Positioned primarily to the north, the view also allows you to enjoy the sunrise to the east and watch the evening light settle over the mountains to the west. The homesite has already been partially cleared and offers a relatively easy build site for a mountain home or private getaway. A minimum of 1,400 square feet is required. The property will need a well and septic system, with an existing septic permit and recent soil evaluation supporting the potential for a septic system. Wired internet is available in the community, and Skydance features paved roads and gated access.

Tucked into the mountains of Mars Hill near the Madison/Yancey County line, nearly 59 acres that have remained in the same family since the 1800s are being offered for sale for the first time. For the first time in generations, this Madison County mountain property is ready for its next chapter. This is the kind of land buyers search for and rarely find all in one tract. Start at the bottom with open pasture, a beautiful old barn, creek, and a spring. Remnants of the property’s long history are still here, including a primitive cabin and old dwelling. They are being conveyed as-is, with no value attributed and no representation as to condition or suitability for occupancy, but they offer a glimpse into the generations who called this mountain home. Then follow the mountain upward through mature woods, along an existing rough road and trail system, where the elevation climbs, the privacy deepens, and long-range mountain views begin to open up near the top. For the buyer with vision, the possibilities are wide open: create a private mountain estate, establish a homestead, explore the potential for a family compound, hunt, hike, ride ATVs, keep the pasture open, or simply own a substantial piece of Western North Carolina and preserve it for the next generation. Twin Oaks Road is paved nearly to the property. From there, the interior road climbs, and it is currently best suited for ATV or appropriate four-wheel-drive access. No septic or electrical service is currently installed. Buyers should independently verify septic suitability, utilities, access, structural condition, and suitability of the property for their intended use. There are plenty of places to buy acreage. There are far fewer places where you get pasture, water, a barn, history, privacy, mountain views, and nearly 59 acres to make entirely your own. Call me today to schedule a showing!
