IMPROVED PRICE! Dreaming of a mountain cabin on the water with plenty of room for a garden and room for a few rental units for extra money? Want convenience to shopping, restaurants, schools and paved road access? How about all of that and water, sewer, state maintained roads? This is your opportunity! Exceptional river frontage property offering in the mountains of western North Carolina! This level 1.67 acre parcel with a cabin overlooking the river features 400 feet of frontage on the beautiful Tuckaseegee River, popularly referred to as "The Tuck". Featured as a primary river for rainbow trout dry fly fishing, the Tuck is a year round outdoor recreation destination. Ideally positioned in Dillsboro area on North River Road (NCSR 1359) and just off US23/441, the primary north/south roading leading from Atlanta to Cherokee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Asheville area. Dillsboro is the intersection of 23/441 and US 74, the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway. The property's location combines easy accessibility with privacy in a scenic setting along the river but features water and sewer served by the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer with four (4) taps in place. The parcel's flat topography, expansive river frontage and generous road frontage creates a compelling canvas for a boutique lodge, riverfront nursery, curated short-term rental concept or private estate. The choices are unlimited. While the property adjoins both of the towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, there is no zoning, allowing a broad range of residential options and affordability with no municipal taxes! Present uses of the property include a park model rental which has produced a substantial income in a modified short term rental (3 months and longer). The owners have a two bedroom, two bath cabin overlooking the river and features a covered porch with hot tub overlooking the river. The river frontage area has been terraced down to the river and is included in the flood plain but the great majority of the property is high enough not to be in the food plain. Hurricane Helene's heavy rains brought the water level up and into the terraced areas but did not encroach onto the level parts of the parcel! Opportunies offering this combination of infrastructure, road and river frontage, location and flexibility along the Tuckaseegee River are rare and this presents both a lifestyle asset and a compelling long-term investment.
