Located just 15 minutes from downtown Boone, in the heart of the Cove Creek neighborhood, is this incredible 20+ acre property. Completely unrestricted, it features a large flat grass area offering nearly 1300 feet of river frontage along beautiful Cove Creek. This area has been used by the owners for recreation but should be mostly buildable if desired. There is also a large swath of woods behind the open field with flat areas that would be useable a homesite, looking down over the creek and the valley. With it’s convenient location, this would make a wonderful location for a small farm, an estate property, or ???. Your choice! Old Cove Creek School is located nearby, and offers a walking track, a playground, and a library. Make sure to visit the Cove Creek Store for fresh produce, baked goods, and other local fare. DUE TO HELENE, THE BRIDGE HAS BEEN WASHED OUT, BUT SAMARITAN'S PURSE HAS CONTRACTED TO REPLACE THE BRIDGE. Photos were taken prior to Helene
