Property Description
16.5 acre tract available above East Cope Creek in Jackson County, NC, located just minutes from Sylva's iconic downtown and Western Carolina University. The property features a freshly graded forest service road which navigates the entire property and leads to multiple build sites. The upper portion of the forest service road can be improved to reach more potential build sites or left as-is and utilized as a private trail system for hiking, biking and 4-wheeling!
Top half of property features direct views of downtown Sylva and long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Nantahala National Forest. This tract is conveniently located: 5 minutes to downtown Sylva and Harris Regional Hospital, 10 minutes from recreational access to the Tuckasegee River and Sylva's Greenway, 15 minutes from Western Carolina University, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the infamous Fisher Creek Trailhead and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, 30 minutes from Cherokee's amenities and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and within one hour of bucket-list trails and peaks in the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests!
Nestled in the East Cope Creek watershed, this property offers peace and quiet, spectacular sunsets and pastoral surroundings. Hardwood timber stockpiled from preliminary clearing can provide several seasons of firewood or potentially be milled for on-site lumber. The property is well-suited for building multiple homes for a family homestead or for developing cabins, campsites and/or treehouses for Airbnb, Hipcamp, or long-term rentals for students and professors at nearby Western Carolina University.
Listed at tax value, the property has already benefited from the current owner's early development work. Take advantage of their efforts and begin your mountain living—or rental investment—sooner rather than later!
