A rare find. One of the most desired land tract sizes in an excellent location. Approximately 2.62 acres of land outside of the city yet only four mile/eight minutes from I.40. Property lays very well and has a great home site and even a garden space. The property is located in the foothills of western North Carolina nestled in the foothills of the South Mountains. Whether you want to sit on the porch and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the region or if you want to take on all of the outdoor activities of the region you are in the right place. Winter skiing is less than an hour away. Spend afternoons on our beautiful lakes such as Lake James, gentle hikes at South Mountain State Park and more intense outdoor activities hiking Table Rock or Short Off Mountain. Asheville is approximately an hour to the west and Charlotte is just over an hour to the south east. The Morganton region is great with mild weather, a healthy downtown, great healthcare and plentiful jobs.
*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.
