Rare 20.51-acre mountain tract on Buffalo Cove Road in Lenoir, offered as two adjoining parcels sold together. The property borders Buffalo Cove Game Land on both the east and south sides, putting thousands of acres of public hunting and outdoor recreation right at the back boundary. The land transitions from a gentle slope at the front — ideal for a homesite, cabin, or basecamp — into wooded mountainside that climbs to higher elevations, offering privacy, seclusion, and natural mountain beauty. Hardwood timber, varied terrain, and direct game land access make this a true hunter's and outdoorsman's paradise, equally suited for someone seeking a Western North Carolina getaway, family retreat, or recreational tract. Located directly across the road from the Buffalo Cove Community Center for an easy landmark reference. Caldwell County PINs 2855460710 and 2855366365 (Parcel IDs 14 2W35 4C and 14 2W35 4D). Sold as a package — will not be sold separately.
The RA-20 Residential-Agricultural District is established as a district in which the principal use of the land is for low density residential and agricultural purposes
