160 Slippery Rock RoadWaynesville, NC 28785Price: $35,000

A 1.32-acre homesite with several advantages already in place: rough-cut driveway, gently sloped, multiple access options, and an expired 3-bedroom septic permit from 2012 to use as a reference when planning a future home. Located in gated Cataloochee Ranch Estates at approximately 3,500-3,640 feet elevation, the property offers a peaceful mountain setting with potential long-range views.... The corner location provides flexibility for driveway access and home placement, while the gently sloping terrain may offer a more manageable setting than many steeper mountain properties. Well-maintained private gravel roads provide year-round community access, and a scenic community pond adds to the mountain atmosphere.... The location combines privacy with convenient access to Waynesville and Maggie Valley, while nearby outdoor recreation includes the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking, horseback riding, skiing and Great Smoky Mountains attractions. Well and septic are needed. Modular homes are permitted; manufactured homes are not. Annual POA dues are currently $400.... Currently offered below the reported tax-assessed value, this property is worth a closer look for buyers seeking acreage, mountain surroundings and some preliminary site work already underway.
