It's cooler on the mountain...so bring your custom house plans and make this gated community your next home, or getaway! Melrose Mountain is a short drive to downtown historic Tryon, with restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and lots of live music and fun activities! The best building site for this lot would be accessed from Melrose Mountain Road, rather than Summit. There was a home that burned on this property many years ago, so the road bed is still visible to the building site. There are 2 private lakes in the community, one for fishing and one for swimming that has a nice sandy beach, dock, picnic tables, and kayak/canoe storage racks. The community also features a clubhouse with tennis/pickleball courts and a large open field for gatherings. Gravel roads are well maintained and are great for walking and enjoying nature. Water is provided via the Community and is included in the POA dues. Don't miss out on this opportunity to truly embrace the quiet solitude of nature, where the air is crisp and and you're surrounded by nature's beauty!
