Mixed-Use Land for Sale in Union Mills, North Carolina

Not all luxury is constructed. Some of it is discovered! Offered at a level seldom seen for an asset of this magnitude, Shoal Ridge + Falls Road presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire 160++/- acres of gated, generational land in the foothills of Western North Carolina-where elevation, water, privacy, and long-range vistas intersect with intention. This is not merely acreage; it is a place of presence and permanence. Fog drifts through the valleys at dawn, sunsets ignite the ridgelines in warm light, and evening skies reveal uninterrupted constellations-each day offering a different expression of the landscape's quiet power. From select elevated vantage points, the property captures 100-mile+/- layered mountain panoramas across the Blue Ridge. On exceptionally clear days, binocular-assisted sightlines may extend to the distant Black Mountains, including Mount Mitchell, as well as far-off summits near Mount Pisgah and Waterrock Knob. Even under cloud cover, the overlapping ridges deliver exceptional depth, scale, and atmosphere-views that consistently outperform expectations. The land itself is defined by rare natural elements: - A private waterfall estimated at approximately 175 ft+/- - A natural cave, accessed by a private trail, showcasing striking teal-toned water - A pond and gently flowing creeks with sandy beds - Multiple carefully positioned, cleared homesites, each offering separation and distinct outlooks - An established interior road network throughout Currently configured across multiple parcels-including five 19-20+/- acre tracts at Shoal Ridge and additional Falls Road acreage-this offering allows for singular estate ownership, selective subdivision, or long-term stewardship as a private preserve or retreat-oriented compound. The groundwork has already been laid. Gated access, underground power, shared well infrastructure, and internal roads are in place-removing common development barriers while preserving freedom of design. With no HOA, no minimum square footage requirements, and only light original covenants affecting portions of the land, this property offers autonomy rarely found at this scale. Despite its seclusion, the location remains highly convenient-minutes to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Hendersonville, with accessible routes to Asheville, Greenville/Spartanburg, and Charlotte for regional and international connectivity. This is a property that rewards presence. Shoal Ridge + Falls Road must be experienced to be fully understood. Proof of funds or pre-approval required prior to scheduling a showing.
