Set high above the valley floor along the storied Elk Mountain Scenic Highway, this offering presents a rare chance 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. The property’s character is defined by its scale and topography. Mature hardwood forests provide privacy and seasonal color, while the rolling terrain creates multiple natural homesites with exceptional view corridors. Subtle changes in elevation, quiet hollows, and winding streams add depth and texture, offering both visual beauty and the opportunity for thoughtful land stewardship. The setting invites the creation of a signature mountain residence, private trail networks, gardens, and outdoor living spaces that feel fully immersed in nature. Acreage is flexible, with final boundaries to be determined and additional contiguous land potentially available—allowing buyers to align the scope of the property with their vision, whether intimate estate or expansive legacy holding. Despite the sense of seclusion, you’re only a short drive from the restaurants, arts scene, healthcare, and everyday conveniences of Asheville including the Country Club of Asheville and Blue Ridge Parkway both just minutes away. This balance of elevation, accessibility, and natural grandeur is increasingly rare. Whether imagined as a private mountaintop retreat, a multi-generational compound, or a strategic long-term investment, this land offers the freedom to build something enduring in one of Western North Carolina’s most iconic high-elevation corridors.
