50 Acres Adjoining Pisgah National Forest
A “Goldmine” of a Property near Asheville NC
Enjoy the peace and privacy of “end of the road” living adjoining thousands of acres of the Pisgah National Forest. Located midway between Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard, the front door of this 50-acre haven is situated at the end of a paved country lane on the south side of Forge Mountain. The back door opens to thousands of acres of forest and game lands. With easy access to Vineyard Gap Trail, one can hike or mountain bike for miles. Trails also lead to several great trout fishing streams in the Mills River and Turkey Pens sections of the Forest.
The Land | With rolling to sloping terrain rising to 3000’ elevation at the crest of Forge Mountain, the land offers several very nice homesites with southern exposure among the stately hardwoods and old growth rhododendrons. Extraordinary views can be seen in winter or all year around with a little selective clearing. Located in the historical goldmine area of Forge Mountain, there are old mining trails on the property along with two trickling creeks, one of which is shown to head up at the site of an old goldmine location according to the USGS map. We don’t know how much gold may have been discovered here in the past, but we do know that at this price – this property is a goldmine in itself!
The Location | Located off of Hwy 280, a five lane road in Mills River Township, the property is conveniently located within 20 minutes to South Asheville, Hendersonville, and/or Brevard. The land is only 15 minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport and offers proximity to the recently developed shopping district and restaurants on Airport Road.
The Possibilities | With its convenient location, unique history, and access to the trail system in the Pisgah National Forest, this property has many possibilities: A mountain retreat for an individual, extended family, or group; Vacation cabins for outdoor enthusiasts; low density development; or green development utilizing the southern exposure. This property is an ideal investment and the new owner may also subdivide if desired.
