Ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property features a gentle slope that is well-suited for a home with a walk-out basement or drive-in garage. A recent survey and a valid 3-bedroom septic permit are already in place, and selective undercutting has been completed to enhance the property's building potential and open the possibility for seasonal mountain views.

Located just 10 minutes from downtown West Jefferson, you'll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shopping, art galleries, breweries, and year-round mountain activities while still experiencing the peace and tranquility of mountain living. Residents of Brightwater enjoy access to exceptional community amenities, including a beautiful riverfront common area along the historic New River, picnic pavilion, and opportunities for fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. Wide, well-maintained roads provide excellent year-round access throughout the community. With a minimum square footage requirement of just 1,400 square feet for a single-level home and 1,800 square feet for a two-story home, Brightwater offers flexibility for a variety of home styles and designs.
