Ready to build your dream lake house with dock access and mountain views? Three lots, 13+ acres, now being offered together and priced over $200,000 below the combined prior list prices. Build a private compound, put up a main house and sell the other two parcels to recoup part of your investment, or keep it all for yourself and enjoy some of the most privacy on the lake. Lot 5B is the cozy lake house lot, 8 acres with road access at the bottom near the lake (off Snow Blossom Road) and road access at the top (off Von Trapp Lane). A driveway is already in place at the bottom, and the three bedroom septic permit on file may be modifiable to six bedrooms per the county (buyer to confirm). A short UTV or golf cart ride gets you to the shared HOA 10 slip boat dock in minutes. Lots 15A and 15B are the view lots (with lake access too). They sit above 3,500 feet on a newly paved private road, with panoramic 180 degree sunset views over Wolf Creek Lake. The view is already spectacular, and you can clear more for an even bigger sunset panorama. Both have three bedroom septic permits approved, power available, and cleared building sites started. Wolf Creek Lake is a hidden gem, sitting over 3,000 feet in elevation with much of its shoreline bordering more than 30,000 acres of US National Forest. The 10 slip community dock is shared among 12 lots in the subdivision, including all three of these, and most days you will have it to yourself since so many of the other lots remain undeveloped. Though it feels secluded, you're just 25 minutes from Lake Toxaway and 45 minutes from Brevard, Sylva, and Cashiers. A lot of the upfront site work is already done across all three lots: paved access, grading started, power available, cleared views, and septic permits approved. Skip the usual delays of site development and get to building. Seller is an LLC. Listing agent is related to members of the LLC.
