Welcome to Hawk's Ridge – a private mountain getaway spot hidden in the Franklin NC mountains with easy access off a state-maintained paved road. This 2.82-acre property is just a very short trip off the main road with a shared driveway already graded in place for you that just needs some cleaning up. The lot is the ultimate in privacy and borders US Forest Service lands along the west side. There is a 3-bedroom SEPTIC SYSTEM in place, which has not yet been utilized. Minimum square footage is only 700 sq ft – so small homes are welcome! The parcel is close to the Standing Indian campground area, with lots of hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail right at your doorstep. Cartoogechaye is a beautiful and desirable area of Franklin, west of downtown with easy access to the highway for travel to Murphy, Sylva, Clayton and Asheville. You've found your little piece of mountain paradise!
Directions: Address is for GPS purposes only. From Franklin: take 64W to left on West Old Murphy Road, 1.5 miles to left on N. Jones Creek Road, .8 miles to sharp right onto Hawks Ridge. Lot is the first on the right... as you continue, you'll see the shared driveway on the right.
