If you've been searching for breathtaking views, no minimum build-size restriction, and the kind of peaceful seclusion that's becoming harder to find, this is the lot for you. Surrounded by sweeping panoramic vistas, fresh mountain air, and endless natural beauty, you'll feel a world away from it all — yet food and shopping in the town of Murphy, NC are just 30 minutes away. Discover the charm of the Unaka area, where a private, independent lifestyle blends seamlessly with a close-knit community of friendly neighbors always ready to lend a helping hand. Bring your vision to life on this spacious, tiny-home-friendly homesite featuring existing utilities and light restrictions that protect your investment while still allowing the freedom to create the mountain retreat you've always wanted. The well-maintained gravel road to the ridge is steep in spots; AWD or 4WD is recommended during wet or icy conditions but not necessary for everyday access. RVs are permitted short-term while your home is being completed. Escape the noise and claim your own piece of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
