Hard to find investment and development opportunity in the heart of Cullowhee. Less than a half mile from the Jackson County Recreation Center and within bicycling distance from WCU. This was a family farm for many years and is one of if not the best pieces of property this size left in Cullowhee. Bordered on 2 sides by state maintained roads and is not subject to the steep slope ordinance. House is of little or no value but is situated at the corner of the property and currently rented.
