Rare find 3.85 acres, level cleared homesite with roughed in driveway. Electric and fiber optic service available at entry, paved road access. 3000+ foot elevation. Spectacular views attainable with tree removal. Secluded yet close to town, 10 minutes to Waynesville. Less than 15 minutes to highest point on Blue Ridge Parkway. Well and Septic will be needed. Discover the kind of mountain acreage that rarely comes to market anymore — 3.85 acres offering privacy, wooded beauty, and the freedom to create whatever retreat, homestead, or getaway you’ve imagined. Tucked into a quiet, natural setting, this property blends mature forest, rugged terrain, and usable land into a landscape that feels both wild and welcoming. For buyers seeking a place where they can build on their own terms, live simply, or escape into nature, this parcel offers a rare opportunity. The land is primarily wooded, with tall trees creating a canopy that shifts beautifully with the seasons — lush and green in summer, golden in fall, and open enough in winter to reveal the contours of the mountains around you. The terrain includes classic Western North Carolina slope, giving the property a sense of elevation, privacy, and natural character. The steeper sections create a peaceful buffer from neighboring parcels and offer the potential for long-range views with selective clearing. For buyers who appreciate the drama and beauty of true mountain land, this property delivers the authentic landscape they’re looking for. A roughed-in road winds through portions of the acreage, providing a valuable head start for access and exploration. This path makes it easier to reach the interior of the property, identify potential build sites, or simply enjoy the land as it is. A large homesite already exists — ideal for staging materials, a tiny home, or beginning the early phases of a future build. Or simply bring a double-wide manufactured home connect your utilities, dig a well and install a septic system and you are home. This open spot gives you options without taking away the wooded privacy that makes the property feel so secluded. The only recorded restriction is that no single wide manufactured homes or travel trailers are allowed. There is no HOA, so the possibilities here are wide open. Bring your tiny home, double or triple-wide manufactured home, or off-grid cabin plans. Create a short-term rental retreat, a private weekend escape, or a full-time residence tucked into the trees. A cleared area roughly 100 feet by 65 feet is the perfect setting for your dream home, or cabin. Use the land for recreation, hunting, gardening, or simply as a peaceful place to unwind. Buyers who want flexibility — the freedom to shape their land without limitations — will immediately recognize the value of a property like this. This is the kind of property that invites imagination. Picture a cabin perched above the trees, a deck overlooking the forest, or a quiet spot tucked-away in the trees where you can listen to the wind move through the branches. Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, spending your days exploring your own land, and ending evenings under a sky full of stars. Whether you’re looking for a long-term investment, a future build site, or a private mountain escape, this 3.85-acre parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and possibility. Lightly restricted land of this size and character is increasingly hard to find in Western North Carolina. If you’ve been searching for a place where you can build freely, live simply, or create a retreat that reflects your own vision, this wooded mountain acreage is ready to become whatever you imagine Additional home at 583 Dark Ridge Rd across the street (MLS #4394353) and adjoining 2.25 acre lot (MLS #4394697) have already been snatched up.
