About This Lot

As of March 2025

Build your home on top of a ridge with mountain views and ultimate privacy. A rare find of +/- 22.78 surveyed acres and no restrictions. There are multiple building spots located all over the property. Rough roads are cut in throughout the property that could be made usable with a little bulldozer work. The current owner has obtained a septic permit for a 3 bedroom home on a prime building spot on top of the ridge. A rough road exists from Simerly Creek Rd across the ridge to Browns Branch Rd. Another road has been cut in to connect to a second location on Simerly Creek near Browns Branch. It could be finished and connected with a culvert or bridge to cross the creek. There are several springs on the property. This property has road frontage on two sections of Simerly Creek Rd and a right of way connected to Browns Branch Rd. Public water is available on Simerly Creek Rd but not on Browns Branch Rd. The property has two old trailers combined into one structure with an address of 851 Browns Branch. The property is being sold as vacant land and the trailers are being sold ''As Is'' with no value. There are no titles to the trailers. There is underground electric to the trailers and a septic system on the property. Spring water was once provided to the trailers, but the water pump has been removed. This property is in a great location, near the Appalachian Trail, Watauga Lake and the Cherokee National Forest. Activities abound in the local area from Skiing in Western North Carolina, shopping in Boone, visit Blowing Rock, Hike the Appalachian Trail, Fish or Canoe Elk River, Kayak Watauga River; hunt the Cherokee National Forest to Boating or skiing on Watauga Lake!
