This rare, expansive 70.3 +/- acre wooded tract is tucked into a private cove in Asheville NC. The property combines woodland privacy, natural beauty, conservation opportunities, and development potential in a setting where large parcels are becoming increasingly scarce. The land is predominantly covered in an upland hardwood forest, with multiple small streams/creeks weaving through the terrain, creating a serene mountain atmosphere. About 10 acres of lower cove offer gentle, usable topography, ideal for building, recreation, or gardening. A paved driveway leads to a former home site, once the location of a manufactured home with additions (no contributory value), and underground electricity is already in place, offering valuable infrastructure for future development. A second access follows an interior finger ridge all the way to the top of the property, where a beautiful saddle-shaped ridgeline opens up to panoramic views across Bearwallow Mountain, Little Pisgah Mountain, and layered Blue Ridge peaks. This ridge on the property has about 5 acres of mountain top gentle topography. With selective clearing, long-range vistas can be revealed throughout the tract, while overgrown logging roads and trails offer potential for hiking paths, riding trails, or expanded access. The property’s primary orientation is southeast-facing, with a portion northeast-facing, ensuring excellent sunlight as well as shaded woodland diversity. Zoned Residential Low-Density District (R-LD) with steep slope and protected ridgeline overlays, this parcel invites both creativity and stewardship. Prior conceptual designs envisioned subdividing into multiple 10+ acre lots, while others may see it as the perfect site for a legacy estate retreat. Though it carries an Asheville mailing address, the land lies outside city limits, subject only to Buncombe County and Reynolds Fire Dept taxes, not city taxes. Access is via a 30’ right-of-way on White Oak Gap Road (private), with potential additional easements from Smokey Road (private) per prior surveys. Whether you imagine a private mountain sanctuary, a multi-home family compound, or a carefully planned estate subdivision, this extraordinary acreage offers a versatile canvas in one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after regions.

Set high above the valley floor along the storied Elk Mountain Scenic Highway, this offering presents a rare opportunity to shape your own mountain legacy. Perched at elevations above 3,000 feet, the land unfolds across a dramatic landscape of ridgelines, gentle saddles, and elevated knolls—each naturally positioned to capture sweeping, year-round views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Defined by both scale and topography, the property is enriched by mature hardwood forests that provide privacy and seasonal color, while the rolling terrain reveals multiple natural homesites with exceptional view corridors. Subtle elevation changes, quiet hollows, and winding streams add dimension and texture, creating a setting ideal for thoughtful land stewardship. The landscape invites the creation of a signature mountain residence complemented by private trails, curated gardens, and outdoor living spaces immersed in nature. Final acreage to be determined. Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, the property is only minutes from Asheville’s celebrated dining, arts, healthcare, and everyday conveniences, including the Country Club of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This balance of elevation, accessibility, and natural grandeur is increasingly rare. Whether envisioned as a private mountaintop retreat, multi-generational compound, or long-term investment, this offering provides the freedom to create something enduring in one of Western North Carolina’s most iconic high-elevation corridors. A separate MLS listing is available offering additional contiguous acreage for those seeking to expand the scale of their vision.
