OWN YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN! Opportunities like this simply do not come along often. Welcome to an extraordinary 182.04-acre mountain property overlooking Murphy, North Carolina, where commanding long-range Appalachian Mountain views, exceptional privacy, income potential, and remarkable accessibility come together in one truly special offering. Perched high above the surrounding landscape, this property captures stunning views of downtown Murphy and layer after layer of mountain ridgelines stretching into the distance, while also adjoining U.S. Forest Service land for an incredible sense of privacy and access to protected mountain wilderness. Whether your vision is a spectacular private mountain estate, family compound, recreational retreat, investment property, or thoughtfully designed residential development, this acreage offers tremendous possibilities. Unlike many large mountain tracts, important infrastructure is already nearby or established, including access to fiber-optic internet and power. Adding even more value, a portion of the cell tower infrastructure located on the property is owned and currently generates approximately $550 per month in income. Enjoy the scale and privacy of owning your own mountain while being only approximately 10 minutes from downtown Murphy, with restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and everyday conveniences close at hand, plus easy access throughout the surrounding North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee tri-state area. 182.04 acres, incredible elevation, downtown Murphy views, sweeping long-range mountain vistas, U.S. Forest Service boundary, existing infrastructure, monthly income, and outstanding access all combine to create a property that is incredibly difficult to duplicate. If you've been waiting for a truly remarkable piece of Western North Carolina large enough to create a legacy property and special enough to know you've found something rare, this is the mountain you've been looking for. Contact us today for additional photos, aerial video, maps, property information, and a private tour.
