Great opportunity to have a little mountain cabin just minutes below the Blue Ridge Parkway. Close to the Pisgah National Forest and the North Fork of the French Broad River with some of the best fishing in the area. Excellent location for fishing, hiking, mountain biking and all the many outdoor activities this area has to offer. There is temporary power and well rights to the property. The cabin is partially finished with many materials left by the owner to help with finishing it out. In order for the cabin to be used as living space, buyer will need to obtain proper permitting from the county. The cabin is approximately 20' x 14. Would also make a nice rental property with it's location. Additional 5.96 unrestricted acreage for sale just across the road.
