0 Off Off Mountainaire Rdg, Sylva
$325,000
1004458 MLS
Explore the possibilities on this 15.41-acre mountain tract (see video) just minutes from downtown Sylva, the hospital, shopping, and US-74. Mature hardwoods, a natural spring, and beautiful mountain views from the higher elevations create a peaceful setting with everyday convenience. An existing roadbed extends into the property, and a well producing approximately 75 gallons per minute, along with two holding tanks, adds valuable infrastructure. Some preliminary development planning has already been done. The Mountainaire Ridge conceptual plan, included in the listing photos, thoughtfully considers the terrain and elevation contours in laying out eight proposed homesites, shared road access, and common areas for septic easements, walking trails, and conservation. Prepared for an owner who envisioned duplexes, the plan offers a useful starting point for exploring residential development, individual mountain homes, or a cottage community. The property could also make a wonderful private family estate or compound, with room for privacy, trails, and gathering places. The plan is preliminary; any development remains subject to soils testing, engineering, and applicable approvals.

4435675 MLS
Private 6.45-acre mountain homesite at the very end of the road in Cane Creek Ridge, about 4 miles from downtown Sylva. As the last lot, there is no through traffic, and the natural building spot sits right where the road ends, matching the gentler ground LiDAR mapping shows along the north side. An old logging road runs along the ridge, and an old trail leads down to a second flatter area mid-slope. The land is fully wooded and untouched; selective clearing around a home site can open seasonal mountain views. High point about 3,500 ft, east-southeast facing for morning sun. Jackson County has no zoning here; recorded covenants allow new site-built homes of 600 sq ft or more (no mobile homes). Road HOA about $500 a year. FEMA Zone X. Well, septic and a power extension will be needed. Nantahala National Forest is under a mile away. Plat, 3D terrain images and a full due diligence report are available.
