Ranging from approximately 3,150' to 3,850' in elevation, this ±9.77-acre gated mountain sanctuary is a true paradise in the coveted North Fork Valley/Asheville Watershed. Exceptionally private yet remarkably convenient, the property lies just minutes from downtown Black Mountain-named "America's Prettiest Small Town"-and a short drive to Asheville and the Asheville Regional Airport. This exceptional property provides stunning sunsets and sweeping west-facing views toward the Asheville Watershed, Blue Ridge Parkway, Craggy Gardens, and the surrounding mountain ranges. As you rise in elevation, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic, with year-round vistas possible through selective clearing. Pristine, mature forest and lush rhododendron ensure enduring privacy and serenity, creating a tranquil, cool-elevation retreat that feels worlds away. The land adjoins conservation acreage on two sides, including a 123-acre tract protected by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. This unique setting enhances seclusion and offers access to rich biodiversity and old-growth woodland-an ideal environment for hiking, exploring, and experiencing the region's natural abundance. Multiple potential building sites exist across the sloping-to-steep terrain, with some portions of the tract subject to Steep Slope Ordinance and Protected Ridge Overlay requirements. Walker Mountain Lane, a well-maintained gravel roadway, provides smooth, reliable access to this mountain sanctuary, with no need for four-wheel drive-ensuring seclusion without sacrificing ease of reach. The seller is subdividing the full ±18.27-acre property and offering this ±9.77-acre tract separately, which will include a 20ft wide right-of-way to provide access to this portion of the parcel. Just 10 minutes away, Black Mountain offers a vibrant complement to the property's pristine solitude. This artistic enclave-once home to the iconic Black Mountain College-buzzes with creative energy. Its walkable downtown is lined with galleries filled with local craftsmanship, cozy bistros serving mountain-inspired cuisine, and a deep sense of history and culture woven into every storefront. Whether envisioned as a private estate, second home, family compound, or vacation retreat, this cool-elevation oasis has it all. With unmatched privacy, dramatic mountain scenery, and easy access to one of the region's most inspiring small towns, this is truly a rare and unique find in Western North Carolina. No drive-bys due to gate.
