Discover a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Blue Ridge Mountains with this expansive 26.54 acre mountain retreat. Perfectly situated in the heart of Fairview just off Highway 74, this unique offering consists of four parcels (23.33 acres, 1.6 acres, 0.73 acres, and 0.88 acres), providing the ultimate canvas for your North Carolina dream. Whether you envision a grand private estate, a secluded vacation getaway, or a multi-generational family compound, the possibilities here are as vast as the landscape itself. Accessibility is a hallmark of this property, featuring paved road access that leads to a thoughtfully cut gravel road already winding into the primary 23.33-acre tract. While portions of the acreage are subject to Buncombe County’s steep slope ordinances, the topography offers ample buildable area for multiple homesites. With a touch of selective tree trimming from the largest parcel the sweeping mountain views will become a stunning daily backdrop. Positioned for both privacy and convenience, the property offers a unique jurisdictional setup: while Lot 2 is part of the established Winding Ridge HOA, the seller states the remaining parcels are free from HOA oversight, allowing for greater flexibility in your vision. Experience the peace of rural mountain living without sacrificing proximity to the vibrant amenities of Asheville and the natural beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge. This is more than just land; it is a legacy waiting to be built.
