Property details
About 524 White Rock Rd
Tucked away in approximately 30 acres of unrestricted woods and wildlife lies the rare opportunity to build a dream haven with plentiful natural water features and bordering thousands of acres of U.S. Forest Service land. With long- and short-range mountain views from multiple building sites on a nearly level field, thousands of feet of stream frontage, several waterfalls, and utility connection nearby, this homesite is ready to create a quintessential mountain getaway. Enjoy stargazing in the night sky away from city lights while unwinding around a fire, or spend sunny days hiking the property to the soundtrack of substantial waterfalls and exploring fishing spots, swimming holes, and wading pools formed by Whiterock and Dodgen Creeks. Cool summer breezes and cozy winter nights make this homesite the ideal setting for a relaxing retreat and a utopia for outdoor living. Located just up the mountain from the vibrant downtown areas of Sylva and Dillsboro, with their unique shops and local breweries, this property is even closer to Western Carolina University and the Jackson County Aquatic Center in Cullowhee. Nearby attractions include access to the Tuckasegee River via East LaPorte River Access Park for kayaking and fishing, as well as abundant hiking trails and waterfalls throughout the nearby Nantahala National Forest. A short drive leads to more recreational opportunities and scenic beauty in Lake Glenville and Cashiers, while Asheville Regional Airport is conveniently located about an hour away. Establish a home base close to activities and attractions — this land delivers high potential and proximity to the best of Western North Carolina. Two additional parcels of 27-plus acres each are available across White Rock Road, offering the freedom to design the ultimate retreat in the Great Smoky Mountains.
