Community: Weaverville in Buncombe County
Imagine creating your own private mountain retreat on 17 acres of beautiful high-elevation land, where privacy, expansive ridgeline, and incredible mountain potential come together in one exceptional setting. Rising to approximately 3,600 feet with more than 1,000 feet of ridgeline, this property offers multiple possibilities for creating a home that takes full advantage of its natural setting. The north and west to southwest orientation provides excellent potential for long-range mountain views with selective clearing, including spectacular sunset views across the surrounding landscape. The setting feels wonderfully removed, yet you are only about 10 minutes from downtown Weaverville and 20 minutes from Asheville, giving you the rare opportunity to enjoy mountain seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Open-use zoning provides flexibility for a variety of possibilities, while multiple potential home sites allow you to choose the setting that best fits your vision. The property may also offer the opportunity to divide the land into up to three parcels, creating additional options for a family compound, future home sites, or investment. A gently sloping ridgetop home site has been tested for a 3 bedroom septic system and a current survey is available, providing a strong starting point for future plans. Whether you envision a peaceful full-time residence, a private mountain getaway, a family retreat, or land with long-term potential, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: acreage, elevation, privacy, flexibility, and proximity to Asheville. Come explore the possibilities and see what you could create here.

Directions: Showing Service appointment with an agent is required and strict adherence to time period selected is essential due to a single lane, private road. From Weaverville, take Reems Creek Rd 7.5 miles to the end, left on Maney Branch Rd for 1.5 mile. At the crest of the mountain, take a right on Gavin Glen Rd for 1/2 mi. All wheel drive suggested. If multiple cars, it would be best to park at the beginning of Gavin Glenn Rd and carpool to the site. For GPS, use 145 Gavin Glen Rd: the property is before that address. All wheel drive is suggested, especially if there has been recent rainy/snowy weather. Please note mountain courtesy for one lane roads: vehicles traveling up the mountain have the right of way and those coming down must pull over or back up. The first sign on the right is where the property line begins and it ends just slightly beyond where you park (on the right where there is a fork in the road).
