Don't miss this chance to own acreage in one of the areas most innovative, nature oriented communities. 11 community hiking and walking trails, community garden and apiary afford opportunities not available in many communities. Being bordered by a large conservation easement insured protection for native flora and fauna as well as humans! This is one of the larger tracts in this community. Due to it's topography there is potential for spectacular, multi range long distance mountain views. As a former developer of large mountain tract, I know that parcels of this size in restricted communities are very rare now, especially with paved road frontage. Having a protected ridge zone behind the lot adds value to this parcel as restricts development on both sides of the ridge. This parcel is ideal for buyers wanting to be immersed in nature without feeling isolated. Nearby Asheville has all the fine dining, cultural offerings and events one could hope for! High Hickory is a gated community which adds price of mind for vacation home owners and year around residents as well. Gated community have since been banned in Asheville.
