Located in the highly desirable, gated Villages of Plott Creek community, this 5.26-acre homesite offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Surrounded by peaceful mountain forest and large estate-sized lots, this property provides an ideal setting to build your custom mountain retreat. The groundwork has already begun with a driveway in place and a rough-cut homesite, allowing you to easily walk the future homesite and imagine relaxing on your front porch while enjoying the quiet, private surroundings. With selective tree clearing, you can open up long-range mountain views, or keep the mature trees for a beautiful filtered view of the mountains and changing seasonal foliage. Access is easy with wide, paved roads all the way to the property, and the gated entrance adds an extra sense of security and exclusivity. Despite the peaceful mountain setting, you're only about 10 minutes from downtown Waynesville for shopping, dining, and groceries. Major destinations are also within easy reach, including Cherokee, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, and vibrant Asheville, all within roughly 20–30 minutes. The current homesite can also be expanded to accommodate a larger house footprint, making it a great option if you’re planning a single-level home with a garage or additional outdoor living space. With over 5 acres of land, existing access, and flexible building potential, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your ideal mountain home in one of Waynesville’s most sought-after gated communities.
