Tucked into historic Cowee Valley, where mountain ridges rise above rolling pastures, hayfields and working farms, this 7.66+/- acre unrestricted property offers privacy, mountain character and a head start toward making it your own. A road is already in place with culverts installed, and a cleared and graded house pad provides a ready starting point for your mountain home, cabin or getaway. The wooded acreage feels peaceful and private, with the potential to reclaim a beautiful long-range mountain view with selective clearing. At the upper boundary, the property adjoins USFS land, adding to the sense of space and connection to the surrounding mountains. An expired septic permit is on file, and overhead power is nearby. Set in a valley with deep roots in the cultural history of Western North Carolina, this is an opportunity to own more than seven acres of unrestricted mountain land with much of the groundwork already begun. Bring your plans, open up the view and make it yours.
