TURNKEY lot with septic, well, electric, and internet in place! This level to gently sloping lot is ready for your new construction home or to be used as a weekend getaway. Bonus: it sits right on a creek! Tucked into a sweet pocket of Swannanoa near Warren Wilson College, the property is ~ 20 minutes to both Black Mountain and Asheville, with easy access off a state-maintained gravel road. No 4WD needed! The lot is fenced along almost the entire property line, with two gated entrances off Summer Haven Rd. A neat rock foundation from a former home, dismantled before the current owners purchased, adds a bit of history and character. The property came through Hurricane Helene with minimal impact: two trees fell on a section of fence and have since been cleaned up, and the sellers report no flooding! The well is shared with the neighboring property. The camper is not included but can be purchased separately. Come see this truly turnkey lot before it's gone!
