About This Home
Attention builders, developers, and investors—don’t miss this rare opportunity in the heart of Black Mountain. Tucked away on a quiet, low-traffic street, this private, wooded property is just moments from Lake Tomahawk and the charm of downtown. With public utilities available and short-term rentals allowed, the possibilities here are abundant. Preliminary guidance suggests potential for up to two-three build sites (buyer to confirm), making this an ideal candidate for an investment project. The surrounding area offers an inviting lifestyle with nearby golf, tennis, sports fields, and a thriving downtown filled with beloved restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and boutiques. Asheville is just a short 20-minute drive away. The existing structure is likely a teardown.
