We almost drove past it. Eagle Bald Trail climbs so far above Burnsville that the GPS gives up, then we found tracts 29 and 30 of Ogle Meadows. We stepped out at 5,350 feet into air that felt like September in August. The lot averages about a 25% grade, and right beside the road the ground lays back into a gentle bench. We walked onto it, turned west-northwest, and watched ridge after blue ridge run out to the sky. Oak and hickory filled the south and west lines; the rest was open meadow. My homework was straightforward. A boundary survey located the 60-foot platted right of way. A soil scientist confirmed the well-drained Wayah-Burton loam near the homesite would take an engineered septic system. The covenants asked for what we wanted anyway: one single-family home, at least 1,200 square feet, approved plans, and nothing over the ridge law's 40-foot cap. Of course there’s no flood zone up here and no landslides mapped on the tract. The house sits on the flattest pad on the land, about 56 feet off the road, so the driveway is short and the porch faces the sunset. Power was a short run on French Broad EMC's easement, and Starlink kept us working while we got the co-op to install fiber. Summers here need a blanket at night. Winter snows mean solitude and a stocked pantry with a roaring fire until the road re-opens. Every evening the sun drops right in front of the porch. We found it by accident. Staying was not an accident at all.

Amazing opportunity to own a piece of Seven Mile Ridge with stunning views of the South Toe River Valley and Black Mountain Range. In my opinion, the views are some of the best in Yancey County! This approximately 0.7 +/- acre property offers mostly level land, electricity, and plenty of potential for a new home, mobile home, tiny home, Air B&B or other possibilities. IMPORTANT: The existing cabin and exterior can house are distressed and unsafe. They must not be entered under any circumstances. The structures are being conveyed as-is, with no contributory value, and should be considered a teardown only. No entry, salvage, or removal of materials should be attempted. Per the seller, a septic tank is present on the property. No records were located with the Yancey County Health Department. A natural spring is also located on the property, with water rights shared with neighboring properties. Buyers may wish to explore installation of a private well. There is an above ground, owned oil tank on property. Driveway access is via a recorded easement. Survey attached. AWD/4WD needed to go down and up driveway.
