Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Hayesville, North Carolina

Unique Hiwassee Riverfront Opportunity - Buildable Homesite + Over 2,000 Feet of Private River Frontage This rare offering combines a buildable upland homesite with over 2,000 feet of direct, private Hiwassee River frontage across two adjoining parcels totaling approximately 16.08 acres near Murphy and Hayesville. Properties offering this much private river frontage together with a permitted building site are increasingly difficult to find in western North Carolina, making this a distinctive investment with strong long-term potential. Parcel 1 (Lot 4, River Run Subdivision - 1.39 acres) is the only portion approved for a single-family residence. It features a gated entrance, partial clearing, and elevated views of the river and mountains, providing a scenic and convenient location to build your home. Parcel 2 (14.69 acres) includes more than 2,000 feet of direct and private Hiwassee River frontage. A section of the historic old railroad bed runs through the property, creating excellent opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and river recreation. The large riverfront acreage offers privacy and space for gardens, trails, or additional recreational use. Important Access Information The current owner has built a driveway from Lot 4 toward the riverfront parcel. However, there is no established or guaranteed legal vehicular access between the two parcels. A right-of-way exists across an adjoining lot (Lot 3) for a walking path to the river. The riverfront parcel is intended primarily for the personal use of the owner of Lot 4. Buyers should consult a qualified North Carolina real estate attorney to review access rights, easements, and subdivision covenants before purchasing. This combination of a permitted homesite with elevated views and substantial private river frontage creates a unique opportunity to build a personal homestead while securing a valuable and hard-to-replicate riverfront asset. Private frontage of this scale on the Hiwassee River is limited in the area. C
