Views!! Views!! Two year-round flowing creeks and a waterfall. This private, unrestricted 12 acre tract adjoins Pisgah National Forest at Linville Gorge Wilderness. It has been known locally as The Island for generations due to most of the property being elevated between two creeks with stunning long range views of the Black Mountains, the highest elevation points in the Eastern United States. All photos of the views were taken standing on the ground at the build site. Clear more trees and you'll have sweeping 180 degree west facing views. A level and extensive gently sloping build site is already cleared for you to envision your home. This property gets more interesting….It is accessed on paved roads that meander through a gated community. The community takes care of the roads, you pay them an annual road maintenance fee of $450. Once you arrive at the property you are NOT subject to the gated community restrictions, it falls under the county no zoning area. A paved driveway leads you to the ridgetop build site and then continues across the property to two creek side off grid cabins that the owners enjoyed for many years. An above ground 1,000 gallon propane tank sits next to the cabins that can be powered by a generator. The cabins will need some updating and are being sold as is. Excellent for use as a hunting camp, homestead, private mountain getaway or vacation rental property. Seller would prefer a cash deal or partial seller financing. Centrally located between Boone (40 minutes) and Asheville (50 minutes), and only 30 minutes to the ski resorts in the high country, 25 minutes to Lake James, and 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, and Linville Falls Winery.
