300± acres in the headwater woodlands of Flat Creek, just 15 minutes from Weaverville, with unrestricted possibilities, a wide creek-filled valley, a small pond, and multiple knolls with long-range layered view potential. This property is a natural cove and watershed with many springs and small streams that feed a larger creek on the valley floor. The eastern boundary adjoins land protected by a conservation easement. Downtown Asheville is 25 minutes away, yet it feels remote and completely private.
A former cabin site with an old well sits among dozens of acres of usable ground in the valley. The creek runs past it and along the entrance road. French Broad EMC power is already on site and can be tapped. ATV roads follow the valley and climb to the ridges. Higher knolls offer privacy and west-facing views that could be cleared for year-round enjoyment.
Black bear, whitetail deer, bobcat, and small game roam the ridges. Hunt, camp, hike, ride, or set up a private target range. Fish the half-acre bluegill pond. Explore hundreds of acres of managed hardwood forest, last harvested in 2015 and growing long-term timber value. Oak, poplar, hickory, and white pine fill the slopes. Homestead, build a family compound, invest, or subdivide.
Conservation is an option too. Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy has interest in a donated easement here, which may carry tax benefits. The property is enrolled in Present Use Value for forestry, and the seller would like to transfer it to help keep taxes low for the next owner. Access will be by a 60' deeded right-of-way through the adjoining 101± acres to Upper Flat Creek Road, shared with one existing home at the boundary.
No survey is on record. A small slope failure, likely from Hurricane Helene, sits near the western boundary. The pond dam seeps and has no visible functional spillway. The well's condition is unknown. A French Broad EMC easement crosses the property. Buncombe County Open Use zoning applies, with steep slope and protected ridge overlays in areas.
The adjoining 101± acres are also for sale, creating 401± contiguous acres with more access options, more land, and a buffer from the Timbersong community. Buying both also brings the 60' access right-of-way under your own ownership.
