Tucked into the forest beneath Celo Knob, a prominent peak of the Black Mountains, this wooded parcel reflects the natural character of the Southern Appalachians. Abundant mountain rainfall nourishes the trees, ferns, and mosses of the rich, dark soil of the woodland floor. Sunlight filters through the leaves, while along the southern property boundary, cool water cascades over exposed rock, its gentle rhythm resonating through the trees. Welcome to your own piece of Deep Gap Road.
LEGACY: For generations, the Cattail Creek area drew people to its abundant timber and mineral resources, including mica and feldspar. Local history recounts that spruce harvested from these mountains was sought for aircraft construction during World War I. This roughly one-acre property traces its history to the original Mount Helen Estates. Owned by the seller and her family since 1946, the land is ready for its next chapter—and for someone new to call it home.
LOCATION: Situated approximately 200 feet above South Fork Cattail Creek, the property lies within a region celebrated for its mountain scenery and outdoor recreation. Mount Mitchell State Park is nearby, while Asheville—approximately an hour away—offers arts, dining, shopping and everyday conveniences. Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort near Mars Hill provides seasonal skiing, and scenic mountain roads and the Blue Ridge Parkway showcase the region’s changing landscape throughout the year.
COMMUNITY: This peaceful mountain setting lies within the historic Cattail Creek community of Pensacola Township. Property owners may choose to participate in the Cattail Creek Home Owners’ Association, though membership is entirely voluntary. Participation offers opportunities to meet neighbors and attend local gatherings and activities. Recent celebrations have drawn approximately 100 residents, reflecting the welcoming spirit of Cattail Creek.
The parcel is unimproved and steeply sloped. Buyers should consult qualified professionals as part of their due diligence to evaluate all aspects of the property and its suitability for their intended use.
