Rare opportunity to own approximately 8 unrestricted acres with NO HOA just minutes from downtown Old Fort! This beautiful property offers easy access, a creek, mature trees, and endless possibilities for a private mountain retreat, vacation rental, investment property, or future homesite. A previous homesite once existed on the property, and there is an existing well along with a possible septic system already in place (buyer to verify), adding even more potential and convenience.
Enjoy the peaceful mountain setting while still being only 5 minutes from downtown Old Fort and I-40, giving you quick access to local restaurants, breweries, shops, and outdoor adventures including the popular Catawba Falls Trail. Conveniently located about 30 minutes to Asheville, 35 minutes to Lake James, and 40 minutes to Morganton, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility.
Whether you’re looking to build, invest, or create your own mountain getaway, opportunities like this are hard to find. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Western North Carolina!
