Rare Development Opportunity within the Fontana Lake Estates community - Over 150 Acres of Prime Lakefront Potential! Jump at the chance to help shape the future of one of Western NC's most sought-after lakefront communities--Fontana Lake Estates. This is the last of the large parcels & it's a showstopper: 150+ ac, including a stunning 20+ acre lakefront tract with 1,700+ feet of shoreline, all nestled just inside the gate. An old logging road runs through the upper portion, offering a natural start for developing access to upper ridge lots with potential long-range views. This legacy property offers unmatched potential for a developer with vision. FLE was originally managed by the U.S. Forest Service before becoming a thoughtfully planned wilderness community. With a strong sense of community, a paved two-lane main road, and amenities like a private boat ramp, day docks, and a pavilion for lakeside gatherings, the lifestyle here sells itself. The original developers saw huge success--and now it's your turn. This is a rare chance to write the next chapter and leave your mark on a premier lakefront destination. Don't miss out--opportunities like this don't come twice!
