Nearly 4,000 feet in elevation, this 9.79 acre wooded tract in the desirable Pioneer Ridge/Walnut Creek community offers privacy, multiple potential homesites, long-range mountain views, and year-round access. The HOA allows short-term vacation rentals, making it ideal for a mountain retreat, full-time residence, or investment property. Mature hardwoods, rolling to steep terrain, and several ridges and benches provide 3-4 potential building sites. Access is available from Mountainside Dr. via Firefly Dr. and Summit Ridge Dr., with three graded entrances and existing driveway improvements already in place. Horses and cattle are permitted, HOA-maintained roads include winter maintenance when needed, and hunting is restricted within the community. Convenient to Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Sylva, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains, hiking, fishing, and waterfalls, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to build in one of Western North Carolina's premier mountain communities.
