If you’re lucky enough to tour this property, you’ll be stepping into a piece of Appalachian history. Photos simply don’t do it justice, It's beauty is something to be felt, not just seen. Set on 41 unrestricted pastoral acres, these parcels present a rare opportunity in desirable Leicester, just minutes from Asheville. With pricing under $25,000 per acre, it’s an exceptional chance to own substantial land in one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after areas. Offered together, these two parcels provide privacy, natural beauty, and incredible flexibility.

The front acre is cleared and ready to build, complete with a well and septic system. The level homesite offers stunning views, which is an uncommon combination. The remaining 40 acres feature rolling topography, multiple potential build sites, mature hardwoods, and a year-round creek, all while maintaining both mountain and pastoral views. With two access roads and convenient proximity to shopping, dining, and major highways, the property strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility.
