RARE NORTH TOE RIVER RETREAT – 5.3 UNRESTRICTED ACRES | 240 FT OF RIVER FRONTAGE Discover the mountain escape you've been searching for at 2079 Roses Branch Road, Green Mountain, NC. With approximately 240 feet of frontage on the beautiful North Toe River, this rare 5.3-acre unrestricted property offers the perfect setting for a weekend getaway, tiny home, RV, or your dream mountain retreat. A driveway has already been cut to a level site and an electric pole and box (including 200 amp / 50 amp RV plug) are already installed (service will need to be reestablished by buyer). While there is currently no well or septic system, a natural spring flows through the property, and the unrestricted nature of the land provides flexibility for future improvements, including the potential for alternative wastewater systems where permitted by local regulations. Spend your days fishing, tubing, kayaking, or simply relaxing beside the gently flowing river. As evening falls, gather around a campfire beneath an incredible canopy of stars while listening to the soothing sounds of the North Toe River. This area is known for its exceptional night skies and is just a short drive from the Bare Dark Sky Observatory at Mayland Earth to Sky Park, an International Dark Sky destination where visitors experience some of the clearest stargazing in the Southeast. Although the historic railroad runs across the river, it remains far enough away that the occasional passing train adds a touch of mountain nostalgia without disrupting the peaceful setting. The property offers modern conveniences with options for high-speed internet, cable/satellite connections, along with the existing electric connection. Even more impressive, the RV / tiny home area and driveway experienced no damage or flooding during Hurricane Helene, providing added peace of mind. Ideally located, you'll enjoy easy access to the renowned Penland School of Craft, the charming shops and restaurants of Burnsville and Spruce Pine, while remaining within convenient driving distance of Asheville, NC and Johnson City, TN. Whether you're seeking adventure, artistic inspiration, or a quiet place to reconnect with nature, this property places it all within reach. Properties offering unrestricted acreage, river frontage, existing infrastructure, and this level of natural beauty are increasingly difficult to find. Bring your camper today, build your dream tomorrow, and start making memories along the North Toe River.
