4 tracts with stunning views prior to the tree growth. Recapture the views or enjoy more seclusion. There are possibilities for a mountain enclave of cabin rentals, 4 wheeling, hunting, or your own enjoyment. A solid gravel driveway is already in place with culverts in places, grass access and culverts in other areas. There was a thru road to Spice Creek Rd. , which was closed off in the past but noted as accessible in a deed. Septic, water and utilities will be needed. There is a road maintenance agreement for this non-public road between some of the neighbors which include these 4 tracts. Some fence exists. Mid way b/w Banner Elk, Beech Mtn & Bethel, 35 mins to Watauga Lake and 30 mins to Boone.
Spectacular views and quiet await the avid mountain lover. This tract can be subdivided once per county regs. You could sell half to your best friend, add a rental cabin, a guest house or keep it all to yourself. Spice Ridge is a private dead end road so very little traffic would pass over it. A 3brm perk and well are available to get you started. Two access drives are in place. The views are wonderful and a home sight is graded and stands ready for your home ideas. This beautiful tract has wildlife, birds, plants and great trees. Begin and end your day with these surroundings. It is a short 30 min drive to Boone. There are retired folks, ASU professors, artists, working, and young families settled in the extended neighborhood. The lower driveway will be a deeded ROW to the tract behind this acreage.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
