Nature lover and equestrian paradise with 10.8 +/- acres in a 1,590-acre conservation area. NEW: horse or horses are now allowed on this parcel! The open knoll and building site has long-range mountain views, and protective woodlands to add privacy. And it's completely surrounded by conservation land and not neighboring properties. This conservation land is not open to the public but is open to landowners and includes 50 miles of trails for hiking or equestrian use. Enjoy exploring these trails that lead to waterfalls, creeks, and more incredible views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Walnut Creek Preserve is a planned conservation and equestrian community with only 25 home sites across the roughly 2,000-acre property. Minutes to Lake Lure, dining, groceries and more, it's very conveniently located. The current owner had building plans drawn up and a septic/well permit (expired in May 2020).
