Imagine ending your day with a peaceful float or canoe trip right to your own mountain retreat on the scenic New River Paddle Trail. This unrestricted riverfront lot offers direct access to the north-flowing New River via existing steps, making it easy to enjoy miles of paddling, tubing, fishing, and relaxing on one of the oldest rivers in the world. Conveniently located just minutes from Boone, this property combines the tranquility of waterfront living with easy access to shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. A recent soil evaluation by Land Resource Management indicates the property is suitable for either a conventional 2- to 3-bedroom septic system or a 4-bedroom drip septic system. Riverfront properties this convenient to town are increasingly hard to find. Whether you're planning a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment property, this is a rare opportunity to own unrestricted land with direct New River frontage.
This is a great opportunity to build a house right n the New River! Very close to Boone and New Market Center. Sloped lot with approximately 50 feet of river front access. The best part, 2 bedroom septic system already installed! The lot is clear with a few trees, but ready to build on. Imagine tubing, fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking right from your back yard. Motivated seller, bring your buyer's!
