So many wonderful features about this property include great southern exposure, a shared well with an installed water line to a build site, a 2 bedroom septic system INSTALLED, underground power/fiber optic INSTALLED, and an clear pad with metal structure in place all at 4,000' elevation. Bold springs are on the property and one was used as a water source for many years. Wooded nature surrounds you with a seasonal view or the potential for a mountain ridge view with some tree clearing. The location could not be any better being less than 5 minutes to Banner Elk, with proximity to skiing, wineries, hiking, golf, tennis, equestrian facilities and more. Property has potential to be subdivided due to multiple deeded easements. A great estate tract or potential short-term rental property. No deed restrictions but located in the Banner Elk ETJ for residential zoning. RV is not included but could be purchased separately. Mature trees and multiple areas for building make this a unique opportunity. Bring your vision for this land or preserve it the way it is while enjoying it.
