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.
