Build your mountain home on this gentle 1.44+/- acre lot in the desirable Cartoogechaye area of Franklin. With mostly flat to rolling terrain, this property offers an easier building site than many mountain lots, making it ideal for a full-time residence, second home, or vacation getaway. A 3-bedroom septic permit is already on file, underground power is available, and water rights are in place, helping you get one step closer to building. The property offers winter mountain views now, and with some selective tree trimming, there is potential for year-round views. Located in a small subdivision with easy access, you'll enjoy being close to Jones Creek, Standing Indian Campground, Parker Meadows Sports Complex, hiking trails, waterfalls, gem mining, and all the outdoor recreation Western North Carolina is known for. This is the kind of property buyers are looking for: buildable, usable land with key improvements already in place and the potential for mountain views without the steep terrain. Whether you're planning a mountain retreat or your forever home, this lot gives you the chance to create exactly what you want in a beautiful Franklin setting.
