Perched above the Reems Creek Valley with sweeping views toward Pleasant Grove and Weaverville and beyond, this exceptional ready-to-build homesite offers breathtaking long-range mountain views and an ideal balance of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Partially cleared for site work and view enhancement, the property is easily accessed from Elk Mountain Scenic Highway and already features power and an existing well in place.
The generous five-acre setting provides flexibility for a variety of home designs, with on-site wastewater permitting allowing for a four-bedroom primary residence plus a two-bedroom guest house — a rare opportunity in highly desirable North Asheville.
Just minutes away, North Asheville offers an outstanding mix of local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, grocery stores, fitness studios, schools, libraries, and everyday conveniences, along with easy access to hiking, biking, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Beaver Lake and its scenic walking trail are nearby, while vibrant downtown Asheville — known for its acclaimed dining, music, arts, and cultural scene — is only a short drive away.
