99999 Walker Mountain Lane

Ranging from approximately 3,150’ to 3,850’ in elevation, this ±8.5-acre offering represents a pristine portion of a larger ±18.27-acre gated mountain sanctuary in the coveted North Fork Valley/Asheville Watershed. Exceptionally private yet remarkably convenient, this tract 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 elevation increases, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic, with year-round vistas achievable through selective clearing. 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, a 123-acre tract protected by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. This rare positioning enhances seclusion and offers direct access to rich biodiversity and old-growth woodland—ideal for hiking, exploring, and experiencing the region’s natural abundance. Multiple potential building sites exist across the sloping-to-steep terrain. Walker Mountain Lane, a well-maintained gravel roadway, provides smooth, reliable access, with no need for four-wheel drive. If the buyer elects to purchase only this ±8.5-acre portion of the ±18.27-acre parcel, a new survey will be recorded with Buncombe County prior to closing. 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 filled with galleries showcasing local craftsmanship, cozy bistros serving mountain-inspired cuisine, and a deep sense of culture woven throughout. Whether envisioned as a private estate, second home, or mountain retreat, this cool-elevation oasis offers unmatched privacy, dramatic scenery, and close proximity to one of Western North Carolina’s most inspiring small towns. No drive-bys due to gate.
