A piece of land like this is hard to find here in Western North Carolina. Mostly cleared, level to sloping open pasture with a partially wooded area full of hardwoods. The 1.6 acres is mostly fenced with just a small portion at the lower end of the field that would need fencing if desired. There is a row of old apple trees just waiting to be revived so they can produce some wonderful apples. There is a county water hook up in place, there was once a home on the property, but it has long since been removed, from that location there is a long-range mountain view. There is already a culvert and drive in place off of Bennett Road. This property would be an amazing location for your new home to be built, with minimal preparation needed. Just a short 15-minute drive to either Morganton or Marion and less than an hour to Asheville or Hickory.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District
The Rural Mixed-Use District (R-MU) district is intended to allow residential and non-residential development to occur with fewer restrictions in less urbanized areas of the county. The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
