The perfect place for multi-use development: turn-key campground (most utilities already in place); or a youth summer camp; or a community based winery with plenty of perfect vineyard land (think Linville Falls Winery); perhaps a tactics and professional shooting range… or any other outdoor enterprise that would benefit from being in a regional tourist area, central to all things Appalachian in the heart of the highest mountains east of the Rockies and west of the Pyrenees— just off the Blue Ridge Parkway— prime acreage in the coveted Little Switzerland, NC. Located nest door to Emerald Village, NC’s #1 gem mining attraction, and 3 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 334 and the historic Switzerland Inn and downtown Little Switzerland— coffee shop and bookstore at Little Switzerland Books and Beans, along with the general store and the Switzerland Cafe. Convenient to downtown Spruce Pine, and Burnsville; a few miles from scenic adventure along the Toe Rivers, with endless recreational opportunities at your doorstep— this property can be the perfect launchpad for all things outdoor here in the high country as it is in an unbeatable location that serves to capture steady tourist traffic while offering serene elevated seclusion with panoramic Mt. Mitchell and the Black Mountain Range views— one of the most iconic vistas in Western NC. Nearly 100% of the 20.47 acres is usable, affording one the potential for a multi-income retreat. Good roads throughout with easy grades make for excellent passage in two-wheel drive cars, large scale RVs and tag alongs. The property features a site-built 2-Bedroom, 1-Bath home with the versatility to be converted into a duplex or addition short-term rental; a 1992 single-wide home with 2-Bedrooms and 2-Baths— turnkey. Several RV sites with utilities are in place, along with a rustic campground area— ready for some “glamping” value-add. The property has two wells, multiple springs, and a scenic spring-fed pond— easily aerated for trout. There is a barn, and bath house on site, 3 lots with septic, water and electric already in place— perfect for quick cabin builds, additional homes, or strategically phased development. Whether you’re an investor eyeing rental/campground cash flow, a developer looking for shovel-ready sites with views— this type of scalable land in such a tourist epicenter is exceptionally rare and hard to come by. You do have deed and value protections, in the way of some light community covenants, but there is NO HOA! Also, it’s important to acknowledge: THE DEGREE OF FREEDOM IS HIGH, & PROPERTY TAXES ARE LOW! Little Switzerland and the Spruce Pine area are approximately mid-way between New York and Florida, and is easily one days drive from 60% of the entire US population— New York, Philadelphia, Washington D. C., New England, Florida and the Mid-west. No matter the road you take, to or from here, it’s always the “scenic route!” This ridge top awaits your legacy— your family’s crest or shingle is ready to be erected here in this small town enclave. You are just 5 minutes away from downtown Spruce Pine, The Grassy Creek Golf and Country Club, and the Blue Ridge Regional Hospital; 5 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway; 15 minutes aways from the famous Penland School of Crafts; You will be 15 minutes to downtown Burnsville, or 30 minutes to fine dining, ski resorts and other entertainment at Banner Elk, Beach Mountain, and Sugar Mountain, as well as Mountain Glen Golf Course in Newland; 20 minutes to Lake James, Marion, and I-40; 50 minutes to Asheville, NC; 60 minutes to Johnson City, TN, and the Tri-Cities Airport. This community is two hours from Charlotte, NC.
