This is your chance to own what is possibly the best homesite in Laurel Mountain Preserve, a gated mountain community just outside Black Mountain. Located at the very top of the mountain, this rare 10.01-acre parcel offers an incredible vantage point with the kind of long-range views buyers are searching for. A paved private road leads to an easy approach and a large build site of approximately one acre or more, which is increasingly hard to find in this setting. The land naturally falls away on two sides, giving you layered mountain views in multiple directions while maintaining privacy from neighboring parcels. Based on aerial and terrain review, the topography here is notably more usable than many surrounding tracts, offering a rare combination of elevation, accessibility, and build flexibility with minimal clearing needed to open up the views. Mature hardwoods provide a beautiful natural setting and seasonal color, and the surrounding estate-sized lots preserve the quiet, low-density feel of the community. This is one of the highest and most build-friendly lots available in the area. If you’ve been searching for a large, relatively flat mountain property where you can actually build without compromise, this is the spot.

Tucked away in the eastern corner of Buncombe County, this property is your chance to unplug and cultivate a life away from it all. The parcel includes the best part of a large, gently sloping ridge that drops from approximately 2,700 to 2,600 feet in elevation. The slope faces the southeast, which means you will be on the sunny, dry side of the mountain. The property is wooded with plenty of rhododendrons, hardwoods, blackberries, and mountain laurel, yet there is an open feel to the crest of the ridge. The 30-foot easement has a graded dirt road bed in place. Once you enter the property on the easement, you will see the potential build sites immediately. Walking up the ridge will unveil even more potential. Eventually, the grade will steepen toward the northwestern corner of the parcel. Think of this as a natural barrier advocating for your privacy. This property is zoned Open Use, so there is no need to worry about anyone else telling you how to develop your land as you explore the possibilities. This parcel is ideal for a secluded life on the mountain, located just a 25-minute drive to Black Mountain and a 20-minute drive to Lake Lure. Come check this one out for yourself!

A rare opportunity to steward a multigenerational Western North Carolina farm encompassing approximately 183.73 acres in Buncombe County. Held within the same family for more than a century, this remarkable legacy property reflects deep agricultural roots, abundant natural resources and a history of careful land stewardship, offering a unique combination of privacy, scale and authenticity. The landscape is diverse and functional, featuring open pasture, gently rolling terrain and expansive wooded acreage, all connected by an established network of internal roads and trails. Water is a defining and exceptional feature of the property, including a private lake/pond, a natural branch flowing behind the farmhouse and multiple springs and waterways originating from the mountain. The owner has made thoughtful enhancements over time, including construction of a state-inspected bridge and the creation of small waterfalls designed to support and enhance the natural fish habitat, contributing to the beauty and ecological vitality of the land. The farm has a long-standing organic, no-chemical history, making it particularly well-suited for sustainable or regenerative agricultural practices. Improvements include a circa 1949 farmhouse, a barn with a concrete foundation and multiple cabins and outbuildings, including one recently completed post-flood by Amish craftsmen, providing a functional base for continued agricultural use, equestrian pursuits, or the creation of a private mountain estate. Rich in heritage, the property includes two documented 1800s homestead sites and a legacy of supplying agricultural goods to the first Ingles store in Asheville. These elements underscore the property’s longstanding role within the region’s agricultural history. The property is enrolled in an agricultural and forestry deferred tax program established in 2019, offering favorable tax treatment for qualified use. This is a distinctive offering for buyers who value land stewardship, historical continuity and the opportunity to carry forward a generational farm. Seller prefers a single-tract conveyance. Post-closing possession may be requested for a limited period to facilitate transition.
