20.76 -Acre Prime Commercial/Multifamily Development Opportunity - Truly Shovel-Ready & Riverfront! Rarely does a site this exceptional come available in the Western North Carolina mountains: 20.76 completely flat, fully serviced acres with public water, sewer, and electric already on-site - no steep slopes, no costly grading, no utility headaches.
Phase I ESA completed by current owner. Prime location directly across from an established retail corridor including Ingles Grocery, ACE Hardware, and Heritage Park. The Red Horse Plaza strip mall was just purchased right next door, further solidifying the explosive growth in this corridor.
300+ feet of stunning Blue-Ribbon trout river frontage on the Valley River - one of Western North Carolina's premier fly-fishing destinations. This gorgeous natural feature can serve as the centerpiece of your community: riverwalk trails, waterfront amenities, or private resident access that commands premium rents.
Housing demand is off the charts - vacancy rates are very low and new supply simply cannot keep up. Only minutes to Harrah's Valley River Casino & Hotel and a short, scenic drive to Harrah's Cherokee Casino in the Great Smoky Mountains. Downtown Atlanta, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Asheville are all within easy reach via four-lane highways.
Bonus for the visionary investor: An adjoining 25.06 acres is also available, creating a combined 46.46-acre assemblage - one of the largest flat, shovel-ready tracts left in the region. This rare scale unlocks the ability to create a true master-planned PUD with townhomes, apartments, cottages, retail, and resort-style amenities, all anchored by Blue-Ribbon trout waters.
And the future is even brighter: a massive new AI data center campus is currently under construction just a few minutes down the road, bringing high-paying jobs and accelerating population growth like never before. This is as close to "shovel-ready" as you will ever find in the mountains. Call Listing Broker for OM.
