Residential Land for Sale in Horse Shoe, North Carolina

An extraordinary opportunity to own a nearly two-acre parcel, set within the unspoiled wilderness of Mills River and bordering extensive protected conservation land, meadow, and watershed, with long-range mountain views. With Pisgah National Forest just beyond, this offering provides a level of privacy, environmental integrity, and long-term protection that is increasingly rare in Western North Carolina. The property is uniquely positioned beside an approximately 6-acre protected meadow and watershed, with permitted access for the purchaser, creating a sweeping sense of openness, light, and connection to the land. Even more rare, the property includes access to a shared, spring-fed water system sourced from protected watershed land, delivering some of the cleanest water on the East Coast. Ideal for a private estate, multi-generational retreat, refined hunting lodge, or thoughtfully designed vacation rental, the property allows for the construction of a primary residence plus an auxiliary structure of up to 50% of the main home, offering flexibility while maintaining a low-impact, harmonious footprint. Wake to birdsong, wander meadow edges at golden hour, and step directly onto miles of hiking, biking, and fishing trails just beyond your doorstep.
