99999 Walker Mountain Lane, Black Mountain, NC 28711

Property Description

Ranging from approximately 3,150’ to 3,850’ in elevation, this ±18.27-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 16x16 shed on the property offers ample storage options. (The seller is also open to subdividing the ±18.27-acre property and offering a ±8.5-acre tract separately, which would include a right-of-way to provide access to the remainder of the land.) 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.
