Acreage: 41.00

Community: Leicester in Buncombe County

Acreage: 41.00

A Rare 41-Acre Legacy Property in Sandy Mush Valley. Stunning views from multiple vantage points. Set in the quiet grandeur of the Appalachians, this unrestricted property offers one of Western North Carolina's finest development opportunities just minutes from Asheville, and priced under $25,000/acre. Rolling topography, mature hardwoods, and a year-round creek create a stunning natural canvas. The front acre (411 Big Sandy Mush) is cleared and build-ready, with well and septic already in place and expansive mountain views ideal for a primary residence, luxury event space, or estate home ( see rendering). The remaining 40 acres, accessed via School Road beside the historic community center (pictured), offer room to bring a range of visions to life: • a luxury cabin retreat • event venue • an agritourism destination • multi-generational family compound • an equestrian estate with plenty of room for a barn and arena. Surrounded by protected lands and working farms, the valley has long drawn those seeking open space, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life. Buyers have the freedom to design without compromise (buyer to verify zoning, subdivision, and land-use potential for specific uses). The back 40 acres is currently enrolled in an agricultural tax deferral program via an active cattle lease, which the buyer may continue or terminate. A cistern on site reportedly serves the community center (buyer to verify), and a recorded easement grants a separate parcel access via School Road (see deed). Renderings are virtual and are artist's conceptualizations only. Location Highlights: I-40 Access - approximately 20 minutes Downtown Asheville – approximately 30 minutes Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) – approximately 45 minutes Biltmore Estate – approximately 35 minutes Leicester conveniences- (Ingles, restaurants, pharmacy, fuel) – approximately 20 minutes Pisgah National Forest – approximately 35–40 minutes Downtown Weaverville – approximately 30 minutes Downtown Marshall – approximately 35 minutes Waynesville – approximately 40 minutes Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Cataloochee Entrance) – approximately 1 hour French Broad River access – approximately 25–30 minutes Sandy Mush Game Lands - approximately 26 minutes Additional notes: cattle may be present during showings; owner resides on the front acre, so no drive-bys—contact your agent to schedule; see attachments for community center details. Contact your agent for full details on the tax deferral program, easements, and land-use potential.
