Cold Brook Trl lot: 31, Sylva, NC 28779

This 1.4-acre wooded lot in the Savannah area of Sylva is a quiet place to build in the mountains without fighting the terrain. Unlike many mountain parcels, it has a gentle slope rather than a steep one, which should allow for a simpler, more cost-effective build with more manageable site prep and driveway work.

Mature trees provide a natural buffer and real seclusion, whether you're planning a full-time residence, a second home, or a mountain retreat. Reasonable restrictions, including a 1,000 sq ft minimum home size, help protect the character of the area and your investment while leaving plenty of room to build a cozy cabin or a larger mountain home.

The Savannah community offers a rural mountain feel with easy access to the rest of Jackson County. Downtown Sylva's restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and local shops are a short drive away, as are historic Dillsboro and Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.

You'll also have plenty to do outdoors: trout fishing and tubing on the Tuckasegee River, hiking and waterfalls in the Nantahala National Forest, and day trips to the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Bring your plans and see what this private, peaceful lot has to offer!
