This lot at Fontana Lake Properties is close to the entry and offers fast access to Bryson City and several lake access points. There is a small valley that would be an easy excavation to enter the property and add a homesite. There will be a nice view down valley looking across Fontana basin and at surrounding ridges. This is the lowest square footage allowed by NC, excellent opportunity for a tiny home in protected subdivision.
