Land for Sale in Union Mills, North Carolina
Shoal Rdg, Union Mills, NC 28167
Shoal Ridge is not simply land-it is presence, perspective, and possibility, offered in a form that is increasingly rare! ~ The sheer canvas Mother Nature has shaped here is limited only by imagination.~ Shoal Ridge offers a commanding presence in the foothills of Western North Carolina, where nearly 100+/- acres unfold into sweeping elevation, layered ridgelines, and long-range mountain scenery that feels both expansive and intimate. From multiple elevated vantage points, experience approximately 100-mile+/- panoramic mountain views stretching across the Blue Ridge. These vistas evolve throughout the day and season-morning mist settling into the valleys, afternoon light revealing depth and texture, and golden sunsets draping the ridges in warmth. At night, the sky opens wide with stars, offering a sense of stillness rarely found. The scale and dimension of these views are something that must be experienced in person; photography simply cannot convey the presence or emotion of standing here. Beyond the views, the land reveals a layer of wonder that few properties can rival. A private hiking and mountain biking trail system winds through the lower portions of Shoal Ridge, guiding you to an extraordinary and personal destination: a natural cave with crystal-clear teal aquamarine water. This hidden feature transforms the property from exceptional to unforgettable-an experience to be shared with family and guests, or quietly enjoyed in solitude. An additional trail connection leads toward a neighboring property under the same ownership that features a pond above a waterfall overlooking further mountain scenery (offered under a separate MLS), providing optional expansion and continuity for those seeking a larger legacy holding. Shoal Ridge is comprised of approximately five parcels of 19-20+/- acres each, totaling close to 100 acres. Each tract offers outstanding homesite potential, privacy, and direct access via an established interior road system. Underground power and a shared well are already in place across the Shoal Ridge parcels, making the land not only remarkable in setting, but practical and build-ready. The flexibility is rare-retain the entire acreage as one private mountain estate, or subdivide into individual parcels, each benefiting from heart-stirring views and separation. The terrain invites possibility. Whether your vision includes a signature mountain residence, multiple cabins, a family compound, or a thoughtfully designed retreat concept, the land supports it with scale, elevation, and natural beauty. With minimal restrictions and no HOA, creativity is preserved alongside privacy. More adventurous concepts-such as enhanced trail systems or aviation access-may also be explored, subject to buyer due diligence. While Shoal Ridge feels deeply secluded, it remains conveniently positioned. Enjoy gated security with freedom, just a short drive to Hendersonville, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Asheville. Regional and international travel is accessible via Greenville/Spartanburg (GSP), Asheville (AVL), and Charlotte Douglas (CLT) airports, while shopping, dining, and daily essentials are all within reach.
