Create your own slice of mountain paradise on this expansive, secluded 2.82 acre view lot overlooking the gorgeous turkey creek valley, rolling hills, farmland and mountains in a historic area of Leicester (formerly known as Turkey Creek until 1859). There is a mostly cleared, level house pad with stunning views, which could be expanded with a little more clearing. Ideal for your mountain retreat or forever home, you are only 17 miles from downtown Asheville, and 9 minutes to New Leicester highway for an easy drive into town. The lot is adjacent to a large tract of over 390 acres, which adjoins an additional 149 acres protected by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. The lot is peacefully located in a private gated area with a few other quality homes and large tracts of land on a private paved road not subject to any HOA restrictions that apply to the other tracts in the gated subdivision as this lot was left out of the subdivision. The electric gate requires a code and the driveway to the lot is located a few minutes drive past the gate on the left side. A roughed in cleared moderately sloping driveway has been cut in from Margaret Dr. that leads up to the ready to build site, and plans to finish the driveway exist. 2022 survey available, 3-Bedroom Septic Permit & Perk Test Completed. Power located about 1000 feet from the build site. Property requires a gate code and cannot be seen from a drive-by. The address to put in to find the property is 95 Margaret Drive.
