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.
