LAND FOR SALE BY OWNER (or NOT)
As a Land Specialist, I get to walk incredible acreages.-some land for sale by owner-some listed on the MLS. I never cease to be thrilled when I get "that certain feeling" within seconds of stepping on LAND that resonates with me. I have found that my clients feel the same way. It is funny how that happens. Within literally seconds, they/we simply "know". And when we "know" it's the "RIGHT ONE"...it's like finding treasure .....
The choices and variety of land/ acreage here in the Greater Asheville area (Buncombe, Madison, Henderson, Transylvania and Yancey County) has always attracted people area. I've been reading a novel set in 18th century North Carolina that makes it clear that even in 1776 people braved ocean waves and mountain passages just to be here! YES... It is like finding .
In the past, even 20 years ago, it was not too difficult for land lovers to secure significant tracts of land here in the Appalachians, whether for investment or for conservation purposes.
However, today locating large acreages can be challenging.There only are 13 large (over 400 acre and commonly known to be available) tracts within 50 or so miles of Asheville, N.C. (December, 2009)
Here the data:
Acreage Listed at $$$$
404.5 $ 2.52.
430 $ 7,740
457 $ 8,230,140
481 $ 3.6
499 $6,986,000
517 $ 6,204,000
585 $ 6,800,000
690 $ 5,500,000
730.49 $ 11,614,791
742 $ 12,243,000
748 $ 10,472,000 (Henderson)
748 $ 10,472,000 (Transylvania)
1048 $10,867,500 (Jackson County)
Whether the land is old family land, as much of the above it, and is used for farming, or forest land with awesome views, waterfalls, streams, the unique quality makes it an excellent choice for conservation real estate investors; perhaps even a Preserve .
It seems that unique mountain acreage always has and always will attract treasure seekers. IF you are one such person, I can help.
