Homesite #1029 at The Coves Mountain River Club offers a rare blend of scale, privacy, and unforgettable scenery across 10.43 acres in one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after gated communities. Positioned to capture stunning, long-range views of the South Mountain Range, this expansive homesite provides the ideal setting for a luxury mountain retreat with room to design a home that fully embraces the natural surroundings. Located just moments from the community’s signature Pisgah Mountain Lodge, owners enjoy convenient access to one of the most breathtaking vantage points in the region, with sweeping 360-degree views spanning the Blue Ridge, South, and Brushy Mountains, for sunrise coffees or sunset gatherings. The Coves Mountain River Club is thoughtfully nestled along the Johns River and borders over 500,000 acres of Pisgah National Forest, including the renowned Wilson Creek area, an outdoor haven celebrated throughout the Southeast for kayaking, fly fishing, and hiking. Within the gates, residents enjoy over 25 miles of maintained trails suitable for hiking, UTV adventures, and horseback riding. The community lifestyle is equally compelling, featuring a riverside pavilion with outdoor kitchen, firepit, and sandy beach access, as well as a vibrant mix of amenities including pickleball courts, shuffleboard, cornhole, a putting green, dog park, community garden, and even a community vineyard. As a designated dark sky community, evenings here are just as extraordinary as the days, offering unobstructed views of the night sky. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away setting, Homesite #1029 is ideally located just 15 minutes from Lenoir for everyday conveniences like healthcare, banking, dining, and shopping. It’s also within easy reach of Blowing Rock, Morganton, and Hickory, all about 30 minutes away, expanding your options for recreation, culture, and dining. Travel is effortless with both Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Asheville Regional Airport approximately 75 minutes away. Homesite #1029 is more than land, it’s an opportunity to create a legacy mountain property surrounded by nature, amenities, and unmatched views.
