1817 Lakeside Dr, Franklin, NC 28734

A rare opportunity awaits on the doorstep of one of Western North Carolina's most beloved small towns. Introducing 56 expansive acres at the edge of downtown Franklin-a remarkable canvas for visionary developers, investors, or anyone seeking to shape the next chapter of a thriving mountain community. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to Franklin's charming downtown, the Little Tennessee River Greenway, local breweries, boutique shopping, and dining, this property offers the best of both worlds: privacy and connection. You'll find limitless possibilities for residential development, a mixed-use community, a private retreat, or a thoughtfully designed neighborhood that complements Franklin's unique character and natural beauty. Imagine a community where residents can sip coffee at a downtown café in the morning, kayak the Little Tennessee River in the afternoon, and enjoy live music under the stars-all just minutes from home. Picture a beautifully designed residential neighborhood with walking trails, green spaces, and small parks. Or envision a vibrant mixed-use community where boutique shops, cozy restaurants, and townhomes are thoughtfully woven into the natural mountain landscape. The property's gentle topography, potential views, and unbeatable proximity to downtown uniquely suit a wide range of residential or community development projects. Opportunities like this-where natural beauty, accessibility, and growth potential converge-are increasingly rare in Western North Carolina.
