This 112+/- acre property is a rare find this close to Asheville and Black Mountain.  Located just across the county line in McDowell County, this property is a short drive to the town of Black Mountain as well as Lake Lure.  Asheville is about 30 minutes away as well.  Definitely off-the-beaten-path for privacy and low visibility, yet easy enough to get to anything you’d want.  Furthermore, this property brings a lot to the table: much more than most.

First, the property has deeded frontage on a paved state maintained road, meaning that you do not have to deal with an easement crossing over someone else’s land.  This is a big deal.  The shape of the property is such that the frontage is narrow and leads several hundred feet from the paved road to the point where the property line crosses Crooked Creek and opens up wide and broad.  There is also a secondary access from the gravel Hodges Branch Drive.  Everything except the slice of paved road frontage is very private on this property.

Once you get onto the property, you’ll be impressed with the gentle lay of the land and abundance of open fields.  There are approximately 21+/- acres of open land at the most gentle of grade meaning this acreage is fully usable and ideal for building a house or two, or three.  You can easily drive onto the property and all over this section with ease.  Compare that to other properties that are nothing but steep mountainsides.  There are multiple areas of open fields tucked away here and there, providing greater privacy.  If you want to explore the woodlands, there is an old well established logging road leading up the mountain to a wide, sweeping knoll that with some tree clearing will give you an outstanding view of the surrounding mountains and valley.  There are multiple gently laying building sites both in the woods as well as the fields.

Equally important is the fact that Crooked Creek flows along one side of the property for approximately 2,300′.  Crooked Creek is a named stream that flows year round, providing you an abundant water supply for livestock, consumption or irrigation.  In addition to Crooked Creek, Hodges Branch which is only slightly smaller flows along another side of the property.  Therefore, you have multiple year round streams on this property.  Within the lower section of open fields, you’ll find another spring.

But there is more to this property than just acreage.  The property has already been improved with multiple structures.  An old abandoned farmhouse is off to one side, and though it is no longer habitable, electrical service was at one time extended to the house, therefore, when it comes time for you to build your own, you’ll have electricity already on the property.

Further up in the property hidden away totally from view is a modest two story framed house built around 2021.  The house needs power, water and a septic system, but it is already dried in and on a permanent foundation.  Inside, you’ll find a wood stove for heating among other features.  There is a secondary small metal workshop building for storing materials along with an old hay/livestock barn and small hay shed.  All of these improvements lend character to the property but also functionality.  Overall, this is simply some of the finest land we’ve had the opportunity to list and situated in an A+ location.  This is truly a rare find.  Call today for a private tour.
