About this property

Rarely does a property offer the best of both worlds: the peace of mind and maintained access of a gated mountain community paired with the absolute freedom of no restrictions. Spanning 7.66 acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this unique tract is a blank canvas ready for your boldest vision. The tract shares a road easement with the Forest Creek Subdivision and the driveway access is within the gates of Forest Creek. The property, however, is not part of the platted subdivision and has no restrictions that the listing agent can find. Originally platted as two separate lots, the property is now legally combined into a single, unified tract. It can be subdivided again. An Improvement Permit for a 4 bedroom septic system expires in October 2031 Whether you imagine a sleek modern architectural glass home, a cozy rustic log cabin, a tiny-home compound, a seasonal glamping retreat, or a private family homestead, your imagination is the only limit here. This unique opportunity is nestled deep in nature with crisp mountain air and elevated cooling breezes, yet conveniently close to local mountain towns, artisan shops, and regional outdoor recreation. Take a hike, bike, or your UTV to the community Pisgah National Forest Trail Head (this is a hiking trail only.) The Brown Mountain OHV (Off-Highway Vehicle) Trail System, the only designated OHV area in the Pisgah National Forest, is +/- 6 miles away. Collettsville, NC is a hidden gem with mountain life essentials approx. 1.5 mile from 1831 John Wilson Lane: Collettsville General Store, Fire and Rescue Dept., Medical Center, and Post Office. This captivating river valley community combines dramatic high-elevation backdrops with the peaceful rhythm of the riverfront. Johns River winds gracefully through the valley, a peaceful escape for kayaking, tubing, and fishing.

Adding to this aquatic paradise is Wilson Creek, a designated National Wild and Scenic River. Famous for its dramatic gorge, rushing rapids, and premier trout fishing, Wilson Creek brings a thrilling touch of adventure to Collettsville's backyard. Together, these waters create a lush, vibrant oasis, making the area a private sanctuary. Framing this picturesque valley is the 500,000 acre grand expanse of the Pisgah National Forest.
