Property Description
Shoal Ridge offers a commanding presence in the foothills of Western North Carolina, where nearly 100± acres unfold into sweeping elevation, layered ridgelines, and long-range mountain scenery that feels both expansive and intimate.
From multiple elevated vantage points, experience approximately 100-mile+/- panoramic mountain views stretching across the Blue Ridge. These vistas evolve throughout the day and season—morning mist settling into the valleys, afternoon light revealing depth and texture, and golden sunsets draping the ridges in warmth. At night, the sky opens wide with stars, offering a sense of stillness rarely found. The scale and dimension of these views are something that must be experienced in person; photography simply cannot convey the presence or emotion of standing here.
Beyond the views, the land reveals a layer of wonder that few properties can rival. A private hiking and mountain biking trail system winds through the lower portions of Shoal Ridge, guiding you to an extraordinary and personal destination: a natural cave with crystal-clear teal aquamarine water. This hidden feature transforms the property from exceptional to unforgettable—an experience to be shared with family and guests, or quietly enjoyed in solitude.
An additional trail connection leads toward a neighboring property under the same ownership that features a pond above a waterfall overlooking further mountain scenery (offered under a separate MLS), providing optional expansion and continuity for those seeking a larger legacy holding.
Shoal Ridge is comprised of approximately five parcels of 19–20± acres each, totaling close to 100 acres. Each tract offers outstanding homesite potential, privacy, and direct access via an established interior road system. Underground power and a shared well are already in place across the Shoal Ridge parcels, making the land not only remarkable in setting, but practical and build-ready. The flexibility is rare—retain the entire acreage as one private mountain estate, or subdivide into individual parcels, each benefiting from heart-stirring views and separation.
The terrain invites possibility. Whether your vision includes a signature mountain residence, multiple cabins, a family compound, or a thoughtfully designed retreat concept, the land supports it with scale, elevation, and natural beauty. With minimal restrictions and no HOA, creativity is preserved alongside privacy. More adventurous concepts—such as enhanced trail systems or aviation access—may also be explored, subject to buyer due diligence.
While Shoal Ridge feels deeply secluded, it remains conveniently positioned. Enjoy gated security with freedom, just a short drive to Hendersonville, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Asheville. Regional and international travel is accessible via Greenville/Spartanburg (GSP), Asheville (AVL), and Charlotte Douglas (CLT) airports, while shopping, dining, and daily essentials are all within reach.
