16.1+/- acres on Toe River with river frontage and mountain views
Description
This riverside parcel has it all! Toe River frontage with a sandy bank providing easy access for kayaks and fishing. A graded partially paved road with power and utilities up a gentle slope to multiple build sites and mountain views at the top of the parcel. A mossy babbling brook. Abundant wildlife. Rich open pasture next to the river that is used today by the deer and wild turkey, but is perfect for your horses or for family reunions. The parcel is in an established ecotourism area, with NC Outdoor Adventures located just upstream. The paved road along the river is popular with bicyclists, and a wide range of hiking options from the Appalachian Trail to Linville Gorge are close by. Burnsville's shops, restaurants and galleries are just minutes away, and Asheville's amenities are an hour away.
This parcel is a great spot to build a primary or second home (great privacy at the top of the parcel), an equine estate, or even to develop multiple ecotourism dwellings -- the glamping tents just upriver do a booming business throughout the warmer months. The road to the top of the parcel and the relatively flat ridgetop really opens up a variety of uses. Power and utilities already run up the ridge and there is an old springhouse site at the top of the parcel.
The 16.1+/- acre parcel wraps around a 3.8+/- acre riverside parcel with a home and outbuildings, where the aged parents of the owner of the 16.1+/- acre parcel now live. The parents do not want buildings, RVs or glamping tents on the adjacent pasture land while mom is still living at home but are amenable to open space uses like horses, picnic/reunion/wedding venue, etc. (The owner of the 16.1 +/- acre parcel will request a covenant honoring his parents' wishes). The home on 3.8+/- acres is separately available to purchase with a leaseback to keep mom at home while her health permits. Use on both parcels will be unrestricted after end of the leaseback.
