2201 Bulling Creek Road is one of those rare mountain properties that does not come on the market often. Bulling Creek Road sits almost directly across from the entrance to DuPont State Forest, offering incredible access to outdoor recreation. Head about 15 minutes west on Crab Creek Road and you will arrive at the entrance to Pisgah National Forest in Brevard, or travel about 15 minutes east and you will be in Hendersonville. This property sits near the top of Jeter Mountain at an impressive 2,990 feet in elevation. At this elevation, the primary home enjoys long-range southern mountain views looking directly toward DuPont. Only minimal tree clearing has been done, leaving incredible view potential. With a little additional clearing, those views could open up to nearly 180 degrees of unobstructed mountain scenery. The home sits on 10.5 unrestricted acres with R3 zoning, which would allow a buyer to potentially build up to six additional homes. Six homes might be ambitious given the topography, but adding three to four additional homesites is certainly possible. Several of these potential homesites may also offer beautiful mountain views and relatively easy building sites. The existing home was built in 2023 and has been lived in very little, serving primarily as a personal mountain retreat and a vacation rental. Utilities include underground power, Starlink internet, a private well, and septic. An additional 7-acre parcel bordering this property on the south is also available for purchase (MLS #4330697), offering the opportunity to expand the total acreage to approximately 17.5 acres. So why is this amazing property coming on the market? The seller lives too far away to visit as often as they would like, and they are entering a new phase of life that makes it more difficult for their family to enjoy the property regularly. Call today to schedule your private showing and experience this incredible mountain property for yourself.
