*Not all luxury is built - Some of it is discovered! Here, every movement feels intentional, every vista earned!!!* An extraordinary opportunity awaits—over 60+ acres of infrastructure-ready land anchored by one of the most compelling natural features in Western North Carolina: your OWN PERSONAL/PRIVATE ±175-foot WATERFALL, cascading through the heart of the property and setting the tone for a sanctuary that is both powerful and serene!!! The sound of moving water, the stillness of the forest, and the privacy of the land create a sense of calm that is increasingly difficult to find - if at all for these personal features, VIEWS and privacy with the acreage - for this price!!! This is far more than a mountain tract - It is a rare convergence of scale, water, elevation, and readiness—a setting where sweeping, unobstructed mountain views frame a landscape shaped by flowing creeks, quiet forest paths, and dramatic changes in terrain. ~~~Private trails invite exploration—leading to sandy-bottom streams, shaded "swimming/wading" holes, and the WATERFALL itself, where a natural rock ledge forms a cooling cascade and an UNFORGETTABLE sensory EXPERIENCE!~~~ Beyond the waterfall, the property features a tranquil man-made pond, meandering creeks, abundant wildlife, and multiple cleared homesites, each thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy and commanding outlooks. The foundation is already in place: underground power and water access are installed, allowing you to move directly into the building phase—whether your vision is a refined mountain retreat, a contemporary glass residence, or a collection of cabins designed for family, guests, or legacy use. Properties of this caliber—especially those defined by water, views, and readiness—are exceptionally difficult to replicate at any price point. This is a land offering that must be traveled, heard, and felt to be fully understood! Notable Features: • Private ±175-foot waterfall—rare, dramatic, and entirely yours • Over 60+ acres of diverse, usable terrain w/ ability to buy up to 100+/- adjacent acres off Shoal Ridge Lane • Pond, creeks, trail system, and natural recreation areas • Multiple cleared homesites with long-range mountain views! • Underground power in place; water available • Privacy and peace of mind Additional acreage up to almost 100+/- and unique features such as a personal CAVE accessible by a trail may be available by request on Shoal Ridge Lane - including not only access to a private natural cave, expanded homesites, and extended mountain views—with the potential to combine into a much larger legacy holding!!! This tract balances seclusion with accessibility. Enjoy proximity to everyday essentials while remaining centrally positioned—approximately one hour to Asheville or Greenville/Spartanburg, 1.5 hours to Charlotte, and just minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Hendersonville for dining, recreation, and seasonal events. ~~~Proof of funds or pre-approval required prior to touring. Agent-accompanied showings only.~~~
