Recreational Land for Sale in Morganton, North Carolina

Nestled on 28.78 wooded acres across three parcels just half a mile from Lake James, this property offers a remarkable family compound opportunity with mature timber and a cleared home site on Kirby Drive prepped for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Barndominium, plus an additional 1000 sqft detached structure and owner-provided plans for serious buyers. A permitted well is in place, and an ATV/UTV trail traverses all three parcels, providing seamless access to explore the woods and the surrounding area. Access routes from Kirby Drive to Lemon Lane, and from Kirby Drive/Powerhouse Road to Lemon Lane, are marked by a pointer sign at the viewing location. This property presents flexible living possibilities-build the modern Barndominium, add a guest or workshop structure, and still have abundant space for recreation or timber management-while enjoying proximity to Lake James for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Potential buyers should verify zoning for multiple dwellings, utility connections beyond the permit, and any easements or covenants, with plans and permits reviewed by the appropriate authorities. This is an ideal opportunity for a family compound, weekend retreat, or development project, with plans available for serious inquiries.
