If your personal algorithm leans toward discovering and seizing upon value, pay close attention—this is your chance to live the mountains unlimited! One of the best views to be found between the Rocky Mountains and the Pyrenees, this property affords you the Appalachian views that most people can only dream about: sit back, relax, and watch one of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see. Deer, wild turkey, fox, eagle, hawk, bobcat, and bear share the land with a chorus of songbirds, and human noise is almost nonexistent. Here you can immerse yourself in one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, high upon this mountain between Spruce Pine and Burnsville, just a short drive off US Hwy 19E.
Eight acres and expansive panoramic views, secured by a view-scape you will own and control. A nice level driveway runs through the center of the land, reached by an extremely well-built, excellently maintained gravel road. Electric is already in place, and a three-bedroom septic system is already installed, and a fresh water spring of some of the purist water that will ever cross your lips! All you need to do is to come and build your dream home—most of all the major expenses are already off the table. The property has no zoning and NO HOA, and your value and equity are protected by a set of fairly light deed covenants (attached below for your review). Whether you envision a timber-frame retreat, a modern mountain home, or a family homestead, this land is ready for a full-time residence, a second home, or a private getaway.
These are the emerald forests of the Blue Ridge Appalachian High Country—the Land of the Eternal Mountains, as referenced by the Cherokee—so often storied and photographed. Here is your opportunity to build your own legacy upon one of these sacred mountains.
The property is centered between the region's three most famous peaks—Mitchell, Roan, and Grandfather—and your views rival anything from any overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, taking in the entire Roan, whose rugged ridgetops draw hikers from around the world. The Appalachian Trail crosses those Roan Highlands balds, Grandfather Mountain's Mile High Swinging Bridge is close at hand, and Mount Mitchell, at 6,684 feet the highest peak east of the Mississippi, anchors the skyline. Fly-fish the trout waters of the North Toe River, stargaze under the dark skies of Mayland Earth to Sky Park, and enjoy four distinct seasons without the extremes.
Every trip to the post office or the grocery store is a scenic drive most people would save a lifetime to take! The property sits roughly midway between New York and Florida, within one day's drive of about 60% of the U.S. population—New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New England, Florida, and the Midwest.
Drive times: 8 minutes to downtown Spruce Pine, Grassy Creek Golf & Country Club, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital, and the famous Penland School of Craft; 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway; 15 minutes to downtown Burnsville; 30 minutes to Lake James, Marion, and I-40; 40 minutes to fine dining, ski resorts, and entertainment in Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, and Sugar Mountain, plus Mountain Glen Golf Course in Newland; 60 minutes to Asheville; 70 minutes to Johnson City, TN, and Tri-Cities Airport; and two hours to Charlotte.
From the hollers to the heavens, this ancient mountain, nearly as old as time itself, is native soil awaiting you and your vision. It's time to tell your story along Arrowhead Ridge.
