401± Acre Natural Cove and Private Watershed

401± contiguous acres and private headwater woodland cove in Buncombe County, NC. Enjoy the wide creek valley, a half-acre bluegill pond, and west-facing view knolls only 15 minutes from Weaverville and 25 minutes from downtown Asheville. The soul of the property is about 300± acres with no known deed restrictions where the possibilities are numerous.

The adjoining 101± acres give you more land, more access options, and a wide entrance buffer between the valley and the Timbersong community. You get direct access at the end of state-maintained Upper Flat Creek Road, plus additional access off paved Timbersong Drive. That 101± portion is believed subject to the Timbersong covenants, and the seller’s Developer rights convey with it.

The best building sites sit on the 300± acres. A former cabin site with an old well sits among dozens of acres of usable valley ground. Higher knolls offer privacy and west-facing sunset views that could be cleared. French Broad power is on site, and a well and septic will be needed for your homes and cabins.

This is a legacy tract, the kind of land a family holds for generations. Build a family compound, a homestead, or a quiet retreat, and simply enjoy the land. With strong conservation potential, you can also protect this watershed for good. Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy has interest in a donated easement on all 401± acres for those seeking a tax benefit.

Fish the half-acre bluegill pond, ride ATV roads to the ridges, or hunt deer, bear, and turkey. Both tracts are in forestry PUV, which the seller intends to transfer, and combined 2026 taxes are $956.

No survey is on record. Zoning is Open Use, with steep slope and protected ridge overlays in areas. Power line easements cross both tracts, and a 15' right of way serves a neighboring home. A west-side meadow holds a neighbor’s septic easement with no soil disturbance allowed. The pond dam seeps with no visible functional spillway, and the old well’s condition is unknown. A small slope failure, likely from Hurricane Helene, sits near the line between the two tracts.

The full 401± acres are offered together, and each tract is also available separately. Showings are by appointment only at the end of pavement on Upper Flat Creek Road.
