Nestled at 2,300 ft elevation in the sought-after gated community of Deer Ridge, this combined 2+ acre parcel offers one of the most buildable and versatile lots in the Franklin area. Gently rolling topography gives you true flexibility in siting your dream home, whether you envision a sprawling mountain retreat or a full-time residence. Located just 9.9 miles from downtown Franklin and minutes from Clayton, Deer Ridge is a beautifully maintained subdivision with paved roads and an active property owners' association. Underground utilities are already in place and deeded water rights convey with the property, so you can break ground without delay. With a minimum build of 1,300 sq ft and zoning suitable for single-family or multi-family use, this lot accommodates a wide range of plans. Year-round views and an established gated neighborhood make this an exceptional opportunity. Come see why Western North Carolina mountain land at this price, with this infrastructure, does not last long.
