A rare and awesome opportunity to own 17.301± acres of private, unrestricted mountain land tucked away off Bear Mtn Ridge in the heart of the Green Mountain community. This beautifully wooded tract offers the perfect canvas for your mountain dream home, vacation getaway, private estate, or multi-generational family retreat—with no restrictions, no HOA, no zoning, and no city taxes. Enjoy mountain views throughout the property, enhanced by buried power lines through French Broad Electric, preserving the natural beauty without visual clutter. The land features potential homesites, a mix of gently rolling to sloping terrain with some level areas, and elevations ranging from approximately 2,400 to 2,700 feet, providing both privacy and panoramic perspective. Rough-cut roads and trails already wind through the property and are currently accessible by ATV, side-by-side, 4WD or on foot—ready for you to explore and envision future development. A natural spring offers potential for a water source, and a mountain stream/creek flows through the property, adding to the peaceful setting. A historic abandoned mica mine is a unique feature of the land (for safety, please do not enter the mine during showings). Access is provided via Bear Mountain Ridge, a private gravel road without a formal road maintenance agreement; neighboring owners currently cooperate to maintain the road as needed. Conveniently located less than 15 minutes from downtown Burnsville and under an hour to Asheville, this property offers the ideal balance of seclusion and accessibility. Whether you’re seeking serenity, adventure, or a long-term investment, this exceptional tract delivers endless possibilities. No Restrictions, No HOA. No zoning. No city taxes. Just wide-open potential and your own slice of mountain paradise in Western North Carolina. Schedule a showing of this beautiful acreage today!

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
