Property details
About 999 Davey Branch Rd
Tucked away in the heart of Mills River, this 109-acre mountain property offers both privacy and natural beauty—just 8 minutes from Ingles. Whether you're looking to build a private retreat, a family compound, or make a smart land investment in one of WNC’s most desirable areas. The land features a mix of old roadbeds and trails, open flat areas that could work well as pasture, a peaceful creek running through parts of the property, and plenty of mature hardwoods and wildlife. Several flat ridges and bluff-top spots make for incredible build sites, with long-range views stretching up to 40 miles. One of the top sites even has close to 360-degree views and about 2–3 acres of level ground. There's already a power pole on-site. AT&T internet is nearby, but Starlink could be a better option out here. You’ll need to install a well and septic system. Properties like this don’t come around often—especially in this area—it’s a rare opportunity to create something special.
