Description
Not all luxury is built. Some of it is discovered.
An extraordinary opportunity awaits within New Forest Mountain—over 60+ acres of gated, infrastructure-ready land anchored by one of the most compelling natural features in Western North Carolina: your own private ±175-foot waterfall, cascading through the heart of the property and setting the tone for a sanctuary that is both powerful and serene.
This is far more than a mountain tract. It is a rare convergence of scale, water, elevation, and readiness—a setting where sweeping, unobstructed mountain views frame a landscape shaped by flowing creeks, quiet forest paths, and dramatic changes in terrain. Here, every step feels intentional, every vista earned.
Private trails invite exploration—leading to sandy-bottom streams, shaded swimming holes, and the waterfall itself, where a natural rock ledge forms a cooling cascade and an unforgettable sensory experience. The sound of moving water, the stillness of the forest, and the privacy of the land create a sense of calm that is increasingly difficult to find.
Beyond the waterfall, the property features a tranquil man-made pond, meandering creeks, abundant wildlife, and multiple cleared homesites, each thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy and commanding outlooks. The foundation is already in place: underground power and water access are installed, allowing you to move directly into the building phase—whether your vision is a refined mountain retreat, a contemporary glass residence, or a collection of cabins designed for family, guests, or legacy use.
Located within a secure, gated mountain community, this tract balances seclusion with accessibility. Enjoy proximity to everyday essentials while remaining centrally positioned—approximately one hour to Asheville or Greenville/Spartanburg, 1.5 hours to Charlotte, and just minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Hendersonville for dining, recreation, and seasonal events.
Notable Features:
• Private ±175-foot waterfall—rare, dramatic, and entirely yours
• Over 60+ acres of diverse, usable terrain
• Multiple cleared homesites with long-range mountain views
• Underground power in place; water available
• Pond, creeks, trail system, and natural recreation areas
• Gated setting offering privacy and peace of mind
Additional acreage and unique features may be available by request, including access to a private natural cave, expanded homesites, and extended mountain views—with the potential to combine into a much larger legacy holding.
Properties of this caliber—especially those defined by water, views, and readiness—are exceptionally difficult to replicate at any price point.
Proof of funds or pre-approval required prior to touring. Agent-accompanied showings only.
This is a land offering that must be walked, heard, and felt to be fully understood.
