For those seeking privacy, acreage, and the freedom to create something truly personal in the mountains of Western North Carolina, this 30+/- unrestricted acre tract offers a rare and exciting opportunity. Offered as a portion of a 33.35+/- acre parcel, the property is privately tucked at the end of the road and bordered on two sides by USFS land, giving it a peaceful, protected feel while remaining approximately 15 minutes from Highlands and 30 minutes from Cashiers. The land unfolds with a private pond, native rhododendron, wooded trails, gentle natural beauty, and several potential homesites where long-range mountain views may be opened with thoughtful tree limbing or clearing. A trail has already been cleared so the property can be toured with ease, allowing you to walk the land, take in the setting, and visit the charming old one-room cabin built when the current owner was a child.

Create a private mountain retreat designed around the views, develop multiple homesites, establish a quiet compound, enjoy the land for hunting or camping, explore timber or agricultural use, or hold it as a legacy property in a highly desirable mountain market. The combination of acreage, privacy, pond frontage, USFS adjacency, and potential view sites makes this offering especially compelling.

Eighty seven acres and over 1,800 feet of river frontage. Long range mountain views that change with every season. Land like this, forest and meadow, protected, and still full of possibility, rarely comes up for sale in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the kind of property that gets bought once and held for generations. This is land built for a legacy retreat, an equestrian estate, or a small conservation minded community, with paved road access and just minutes to downtown Franklin. Asheville and Atlanta are both an easy drive, close enough for regular trips, far enough that this still feels like a retreat. It's the rare tract with room to build a lasting homeplace, with space to expand over time. Fifteen acres of open, manicured pasture roll out below the tree line, ready for horses, hay, or development with a view in every direction. Another twenty five acres of former pastureland have grown into young forest, layered with color and texture, while established woodlands climb the ridges with trails already cut through them for hiking and wildlife watching. The Little Tennessee River runs along the edge of the property, protected by a conservation easement that still allows grazing, crops, hiking trails, a canoe or kayak launch, and even a covered picnic gazebo, so the working, recreational character of the land stays fully intact for whoever owns it next. A separate state backed easement protects several streams on the property, where active restoration work is already underway, adding lasting ecological value at no cost to the owner. Few properties offer this much frontage, this much usable ground, and this level of protection all in one place. It's a rare foundation for whatever comes next, whether that's a homeplace, a working farm, or land held simply for the sake of holding it.
