They don't make land like this any more! I am excited to offer up such an exceptional 3.82 ACRE TRACT on one of the most beautiful stretches of CROOKED CREEK! OVER 800 FEET of DIRECT FRONTAGE and with a road right down to the water's edge! Plenty of nice buildable ground that sits out of the reach of floodwaters. The opposite bank of the creek makes for a great view, with a vertical rock face and steep woods. It lends to a very private setting. This side is definitely the one you want though, easily walkable along the entire length of the creek with sandy beeches and areas of beautiful river rock and boulders. It's also hard to beat the location. Only a 5 minute drive to hop on I-40, so you could quickly be in Black Mountain or Asheville to enjoy a tasty dinner out. That is if you ever want to leave. I didn't. I spent way too much time at this place while I was taking pictures, and really wished I had brought a lawn chair to plop down in out in the water. The sound of a rushing creek just soothes the soul. Check out the video to hear it for yourself. Power is on site, and this place is ready to be enjoyed, so get out and take a look. You'll be hard pressed to find anything like it. It truly is a gem!

Location Information
Directions: Coming from Asheville head east on I 40. Take exit 75 and then turn right(south) onto Parker Padgett Rd. In 0.2 miles veer left to stay on Parker Padgett Rd. Drive 1.9 miles then take a left onto Denver Ridge Rd. Drive 0.4 miles and then take a right onto Kings Glenn Rd. Drive about 0.2 miles and park on the left side of the road BEFORE the power pole (for reference the power pole has signs "private property" and "237" on it). So as not to have a bunch of buyers disturbing the neighbors please just walk straight down the hill through the woods rather than continuing on down the neighbor's driveway (the one at 237) which forks with a left leading into the property. I recommend LandGlide or a similar app to get a sense of where you are on property as you walk around. Property ID: 067900685374
