A newly cleared 5 foot walking path leads from the road to the water, making it easy to experience the peaceful setting, listen to the soothing sounds of the creek, and enjoy your own natural swimming hole. The lot is fairly level, offering an excellent building site, with community water and sewer available. There is also the potential for a seasonal view of Grandfather Mountain with selective tree trimming. Whether you're planning a full time residence, mountain getaway, or investment property, this scenic homesite provides the perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty in the North Carolina High Country.
