As a former developer of large mountain tract, I know that parcels of this size in restricted communities are very rare now, especially with paved road frontage. Having a protected ridge zone behind the lot adds value to this parcel as restricts development on both sides of the ridge. This parcel is ideal for buyers wanting to be immersed in nature without feeling isolated. Nearby Asheville has all the fine dining, cultural offerings and events one could hope for!
