Discover over 47 acres of gently rolling, beautifully contoured land bordering the prestigious Cliffs at Walnut Cove—a property that offers an exceptional canvas for crafting an elevated mountain lifestyle. Tucked into a serene landscape of open pastures, mature woodlands and a tranquil pond, this rare offering combines natural beauty, versatility and the promise of enduring value. The property presents multiple premier build sites, each with its own perspective on the surrounding landscape, allowing the creation of a private estate of distinction. Whether envisioned as a sprawling family compound, an equestrian retreat or a refined mountain sanctuary, the opportunities here are as expansive as the land itself. An existing residence offers a thoughtful renovation project for those seeking to blend old with new, or it may serve as a temporary dwelling while your vision takes shape. The home is being sold as is, underscoring the property’s potential as a true legacy investment. For equestrian pursuits, the land is well-suited and already includes a seven-stall barn with a tack room, providing a foundation for horses, livestock, or hobby farming. Expansive open fields invite gardening, recreation, or simply the joy of wide-open space, while wooded areas and the pond add tranquility and natural balance. Every element reflects a harmony between land and lifestyle. Though its setting feels worlds away—peaceful, private, and timeless—the property is just minutes from the vibrant heart of Asheville. Here, you’ll find world-class dining, cultural attractions and modern conveniences, along with easy access to hiking trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the countless outdoor pursuits that define Western North Carolina living. Offering a rare blend of seclusion and accessibility, this 47-acre tract is more than just land—it is an extraordinary opportunity to shape a future of uncommon character and possibility. Properties of this scale and setting seldom become available, making it a legacy holding. This property is also listed in MLS under Residential. Please review MLS 4266452 for further details.
