This is the kind of property people wait years for--and it's finally here. Rare 11.8 acre unrestricted riverfront tract with an incredible 1,262 feet of frontage on the Nottely River, offering a combination of features that's nearly impossible to find in today's market. The majority of this Murphy, NC acreage is flat, open, and highly usable (a true rarity in the mountains). With NO deed restrictions, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Previously used for agriculture thanks to fertile soil, this property is equally suited for a mini-farm, commercial or development opportunity, or a custom legacy estate. Boasting overhead power already in place, easy access, and close proximity to Hwy 60 and downtown Murphy (as well as Blue Ridge and Blairsville, GA), this property is ready for your vision. The extensive Nottely River frontage is the star of the show, offering direct access for fishing, kayaking, tubing or simply enjoying the natural beauty and tranquility of the water. Properties with this much water-adjacent land in Murphy NC are extremely scarce--especially with such gentle, buildable topography. While portions of the property lie within the river floodway and 100-year flood zone, local flooding here is extremely rare. The Nottely River is controlled by the TVA dam and the riverbank height ranges from ~2-6 feet high, minimizing risk. Approximately 3 acres on the opposite side of Die Bend Rd are outside the flood zone, providing an ideal build site for added peace of mind. Simply put, there's nothing else like this unrestricted riverfront land for sale here in Murphy, NC area. If you've been searching for flat, usable acreage with significant river frontage and unlimited potential, this is it.
