A truly rare offering in the heart of Columbus, NC, this exceptional ±27.24-acre property offers road frontage on Bill Collins Road and Smith-Waldrop Road, presenting a remarkable blend of privacy, accessibility, and unlimited potential. With no restrictions and mixed-use zoning, this is a canvas suited for the most discerning buyer—whether your vision is a grand private estate, multi-generational family compound, equestrian or farm property, or a thoughtfully designed residential development. The land is beautifully appointed with established driveways providing access from both roads. A private primary homesite is already improved with underground power, a well and 4-bedroom septic system, perfectly positioned to capture long-range mountain views. A second permitted homesite, approved for a 3-bedroom septic and well, offers flexibility and expansion potential. The two homesites are thoughtfully separated by a large open tall fescue pasture and a mature tree buffer, creating a sense of scale, openness, and privacy rarely found. The property’s gentle topography reveals numerous additional potential homesites, making it well suited for subdivision or future development. The lower portion of the land features a natural spring, a creek, and established walking trails, enhancing the property’s serene and park-like setting. With all infrastructure in place and ready at one site—site-built home, manufactured home, and camper and RVs are your choice, allowing immediate use or phased development. This is a property where the most time-consuming groundwork has already been completed. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Columbus, the Hwy 74 bypass, Lake Lure, and the Tryon International Equestrian Center, this estate combines refined country living with convenient access to premier destinations in Western North Carolina. Opportunities of this caliber are exceedingly rare in Polk County. Whether held as a legacy estate, cultivated as a working farm, or developed into an exclusive residential enclave, this property offers sophistication, flexibility, and enduring value. Seller is a licensed Realtor.
