Rare opportunity to acquire a 35-homesite development portfolio within the upscale gated Mystic Lands community of Western North Carolina. Bordering the national forest with access to the Nantahala River and Queen’s Lake, this exceptional offering provides builders, developers, and investors the opportunity to secure immediate inventory in an established mountain community known for its natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and unique amenities.
The portfolio consists of 35 individually deeded shovel-ready homesites offered together as a single sale, eliminating the time and expense of assembling parcels individually. Community infrastructure includes paved roads, underground utilities, and established protective covenants with architectural review designed to preserve long-term property values. Inventory includes ridge top lots with expansive views, lots with lake views, and wooded lots nestled by the national forest. It’s a great variety to suit a range of home styles and price points.
Mystic Lands offers an impressive collection of amenities that set it apart from other mountain communities, including the Mystic Forest equestrian facilities and riding arena, stocked pond, miles of scenic walking trails, Mystic Ridge canoe house and lodge, night sky observatory, access to Queen’s Lake, and the Mystic River section featuring a riverfront clubhouse and private scenic river islands along the Nantahala River.
Located just minutes from the Nantahala Gorge, Nantahala National Forest, Fontana Lake, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities, the community appeals to buyers seeking primary residences, mountain retreats, and vacation homes. Short-term rentals are permitted, creating additional flexibility and investment potential.
Individual parcel inventory, maps, and supporting documentation are available. Offered as a single portfolio sale. An exceptional opportunity for regional builders, developers, or investors seeking a large-scale homesite acquisition in one of Western North Carolina’s premier mountain communities.
