Residential Land for Sale in Hayesville, North Carolina

A Unique and Special Offering: Hiwassee River Property This exceptional property consists of two adjoining parcels totaling approximately 16.08 acres, offering a rare combination of buildable upland and expansive river frontage along the scenic Hiwassee River in western North Carolina (near Murphy and Hayesville). Parcel 1: Lot 4 in the River Run Subdivision (1.39 Acres) This is the only portion of the property legally suitable for constructing a single-family residence. Features include a welcoming gated entrance already in place, partial clearing, and stunning elevated views of the Hiwassee River below and the mountains across the river. Ideal homesite with convenient access. Parcel 2: Riverfront Parcel (14.69 Acres) A truly remarkable tract with over 2,000 feet of direct Hiwassee River frontage. Includes a section of the historic old railroad bed that once connected Murphy and Hayesville. Offers exceptional opportunities for personal recreation, fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the river. The current owner has created a driveway accessing Lot 4 and extending toward the old railroad bed. However, there is no established or defined legal access from Lot 4 to the riverfront parcel. Additional notes from recorded documents: There is a right-of-way allowing an adjoining property (Lot 3) a walking path across the property to the river (refer to Deed Book 477, Page 60). River Run covenants include a 15-foot right-of-way along Lots 7 & 8 for walkway access to the riverside (refer to Deed Book 115, Page 91). Important Disclosure: The riverfront parcel is intended primarily for the personal enjoyment and recreation of the owner of Lot 4. There is no known guaranteed legal vehicular access to the riverfront area. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to consult a qualified North Carolina real estate attorney familiar with local land use, easements, ingress/egress rights, and subdivision covenants prior to purchase to fully understand access.
