Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Green Mountain, North Carolina
NC Highway 197, Green Mountain, NC 28740
Price reduced below tax value-approximately $4,800 per acre. Opportunities like this are hard to find. This stunning mountain property overlooking the Toe River offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and potential. With approximately 1,800 feet of river frontage and your own private access just across the road, you can enjoy everything Western North Carolina is known for-kayaking, tubing, fishing, and relaxing by the water. An existing access road leads to a flat, buildable area that previously supported a structure, with evidence of a well (condition unknown) and prior electrical service already in place. For those seeking elevated views, there is additional potential to extend the road to the top of the property for a second homesite. Conveniently located less than 30 minutes to Pisgah National Forest, Burnsville, Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland, and Mars Hill, this property offers both seclusion and accessibility. A recent survey is available. Sellers are highly motivated-bring your vision and make this mountain retreat your own.
