Located in gated Hearthstone Ridge, this property is moderately wooded with a mix of hardwoods/evergreens. It sits above the road, and when you're ready to build, it offers a great view of the mountains! This parcel's east border helps form one edge of the community. It's backed up by a land-locked parcel of 80-acres, home to deer and other wildlife. The photo was taken from this parcel about five years ago...the view hasn't changed, but some trees have grown. Most of them are the trees you'll be taking down when you are building your new home! The parcel originally had a septic permit for a three-bedroom home (now expired) from the Health Department. The gentle slope will be easy to build on, and offers excellent drainage. The minimum building size for a home in Hearthstone Ridge is 1,200 sq. ft. of heated indoor living space, not including basements, porches or garages. There are no maximum size restrictions.

Just over an acre and a half, this lot sits on Whitestone Circle, in the gated community of Hearthstone Ridge. Potential mountain views would be best from a second story or loft. This property is lightly wooded, mostly near-level with some gently sloping land - easy to build on, no matter what your design entails. If a walk-out basement foundation is in your plans, this parcel will work just fine, and if a one-level home is more to your liking, that's going to work, too! While it's true a second level will enjoy a mountain view, it's this gorgeous location you'll want to consider. A somewhat rural location with clean air, clean water and a sky full of stars, yet close to town for necessities and conveniences. Hearthstone Ridge has light restrictions (1,200 sf min, no mobile homes, no time frame to build) and dues of only $435/year to maintain the paved roads.

A private, estate-sized parcel, this property is a gorgeous example of western NC beauty. The land rolls and undulates while still offering plenty of room for your home site, no matter what your plans are. There's little undergrowth because of the massive hardwood canopy. (You'll have plenty of shade during the warm summer months, and after the vibrant autumn leaves fall, you'll have sunlight streaming in all winter long.) This wooded parcel is located in gated Hearthstone Ridge, and features a near-level driveway already in place, leading to an excellent potential home site. The property backs up to an 80-acre parcel of land outside the community that is land-locked, making this paradise so much more private! We hope you don't mind deer, because this is one of their favorite spaces to travel through, judging by the abundance of tracks.
