Its rare to find a property with a 25 to 30 foot waterfall, but this property near the town of Black Mountain has just that and more. The waterfall is truly spectacular and its easily accessible via an established footpath with bridge crossing over Laurel Creek. The sound and spray of the water is refreshing on a warm summer day. Another uncommon feature is that the creek flows right through the middle of the property. Most often, creeks are boundary lines and thus one does not control the opposite bank, but in this case, both sides of the creek are included. A very well built trail leads you from the open field into the woods to a point overlooking the waterfall before continuing along Laurel Creek through the woods for half a mile. Its a lovely gentle walk along the creek with numerous cascades along the way.
Another nice feature is that the property is so easily accessible. No shared driveway or easement across someone else’s land. This property has hundreds of feet of frontage on a paved, publicly maintained road. In fact, several hundred feet of frontage are at road grade so that you can literally drive right off the pavement onto the nearly one acre field. This field lays nearly flat and is ideal for home building, livestock or gardening. At the back of the field the property becomes wooded thick with Rhododendrons. A second creek branch follows the other side of the property, therefore, there’s not one but two creeks on the property. The topography within the woods is mostly gentle offering numerous outstanding building sites. Click here for an interactive map of the property showing topography and such.
There is no zoning on this property or any private restrictions. No home owners association or covenants, therefore you’re free to utilize it as you wish. This property is ideal for year round living due to its close proximity to the town of Black Mountain with its 31 privately owned restaurants. Lake Lure is just another 15 minutes down the road. Build a vacation home, a retirement home or a safe haven bugout property. The land is rich in resources for row crops, livestock, wildlife habitat, etc. Being blessed with such gentle topgraphy makes home building or driveway placement a breeze, and the abundance of surface water is a real plus, not to mention the sheer beauty of the waterfall.
